Now I am not a Eagles fan and I saw some of Vick's games back in his hay day. But personally never got into watching him but knew the name. I do not agree with what he has done. and I agree with the Prison time and home areas that he has been put threw. I do not have issue with him going bankrupt for paying back the community for the crimes that he committed and funded. But there are some things I do have issues with and they are not with Vick or the Eagles.
I have Issues with all those that do not want him back into the NFL. I have issues with those that will not forgive a man or at least give a man a chance to get back into his life after our system has said he has done his time. I have Issues with those that see themselves better than someone because they have not committed a crime or at least have not been caught yet.
Michael Vick has been deemed worthy by all those that he has personally met with. Public opinion does not see his heart or his intentions. Public opinion only counts after the fact. Why? Because public opinion is uninformed, uneducated and cruel. Public opinion is filled with hatred.
Public opinion says that Michael Vick should never play in the NFL again. Public opinion says to boycott the Eagles because they are the team giving him a chance.
I say Give Vick a chance. The eagles have done just that. They did exactly what I thought they should do. They gave him a smaller contract for one year. They gave him the contract stating they can let him go next year if he does not perform. That is not only on the field but also off the field. He has to prove that he is more than willing to be a proper role model to those that will look up to him. He has to prove that he is more than willing to help the National Human Society in all that they do. He has a year to prove this. The Eagles are giving this man a shot that no one else would. They are giving him a chance to prove to public opinion that he has grown up and become a better person.
So I say this. Go Eagles for showing that your still a team with Humane Ideals. and I say GO Vick! Prove all your nay Sayers wrong. Prove that you have rethought your life and become a better man. I look forward to seeing the eagles have a good season.
