No way Marcus Vick should be allow in the NFL or any other sport.

Throughout time we have had mixed feelings about the people of the sports world. In the 'old days' we let the minor problems go, i.e. Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth with alcohol. But when it came to embarrassing the sport they were in, we were always able to punish them severely for what they did i.e. Pete Rose, The Black Sox. Now we have no will power to punish. Well the steriod thing maybe which is really an odd punishment. We are banning people from their sport for the use of steriods but not other illegal drugs. hmmmm What is wrong with that picture. You can do cocaine over and over and get your hand slapped but god help you if you do steriods. Once again the sports world will prove how ignorant they can be. The man has a police record and not a nice one, yet there will be a good chance they will let him play the sport. All sports have at one time or another forgiven the sports figure just to let him/her to do it again, i.e. Steve Howe, Daryl Strawberry. Football and Baseball are the worse of the bunch. You do drugs you should be gone, you get a police record you should be gone. Contrary to what sport figures think they are, they are an amusement that we as a society have set aside to enjoy. Sort of like the gladiator days of old. But having the kind soft heart that the weak human has we also enjoy given them another chance to hurt someone else or themselves. Obviously having a police record did not stop Vick from continuing to add to it. Now he gets the notoriety of being a 'bad' boy football player and the media has picked up on it and have now increased his signing bonus for the NFL as people will now go just to see the 'bad' boy play. Isn't it odd that we seem to enjoy rewarding people for the bad things they do and then for others electrocute them. What a screwed up society. I could go on and on about the subject of bad people in sports who get away with their crimes but then we would run out of time in the day to read it all.

That's part of my story and I'm sticking to it.
