Michael Vick - let the man play football!

Michael Vick returned to his home this week after realizing that there was no room in any of the halfway houses for him to spent the last of his confinement.

And now comes the pressing question: Should he be allowed to return to his beloved NFL as a football player? He is going to spend some time doing construction work until his release is finalized, but the man has clearly learned his lesson and has satisfied his debt to society. He is a convicted felon which will make his life more difficult than the average NFL player.

I am not condoning his behavior, but fully recognize that if a person has served time for a crime, that individual should be allowed to participate fully in society after having satisfied justice.
