Yeah, ultimately it's whatever the NFL wants to do. But, the reason it's worth arguing about is the NFL is gonna make the decision based on public perception. It's just talking about what the status quo should be.

The Vick issue comes down to what's most important, that he used to practise cruelty to animals vs. that he's served his punishment, is making amends, and now fighting to save animals, surely saving more animals than he ever harmed. I come down squarely on 2nd chances there. And, I'm glad that even though there are a lot of whacko animal right activists who made a lot of noise, I'm glad that most people wanted to see Vick overcome his past.

The Rush issue comes down to having a fat mouth radio host who loves offending half the country vs. the fact that, well versus no fact. He makes no effort to be more acceptable in the public eye. He just runs around offending half the people and then takes offense himself when he can't take a high profile position trying to sell goods to people he offends.

His defense is based on all this nonsense the vitriolic people have made up that he's said. But, I bet that nonsense could be overcome. There's plenty out there Rush has said that irritates the fuck out of people.
