He is a thug and should be banned from football. I bet he'll screw up again within 2 years. He has had multiple earlier offenses for various things. He is a thug and should be banned from football.

And I agree, the man needs to work again, as do we all. I also think he should still be in prison for his horrific crimes, but he is a celebrity, so of course some rules just don't apply. But I think all of this publicity only helps him; which in my opinion is a bad thing. If any other athlete was traded to a different team, they'd announce it and people would talk a little, but then it would be over. Now, with all of the hype over him joining the Eagles, and over what he did, it just reinforces his behavior. Too many people focus on the negative. We need to be focusing on positive events. And while this is neutral to me, I think everyone just needs to let it be. It is taking up too much space in the paper, on blogs and twitter. We need to read more interesting things! (I'm also not a fan of football! ha) What Michael Vick did was awful. And I agree, the man needs to work again, as do we all.
