ummm sports players are supposed to set a bigger example than anyone.people can claim that football,baseball,and basketball players aren't Role Models but that is BS!.every kid that plays sports has a pro athlete that they look up to that they want to be like and that is a ROLE MODEL No. That's not true. They are people. Just like we are. That huge uproar when Charles Barkely told parents that he wasn't a role model was dead accurate. Just as no one should be put on a pedestal, sports stars shouldn't be relied upon to be role models for your children. It puts s level of pressure on the players that many of them are ill equipped to handle. |

It puts s level of pressure on the players that many of them are ill equipped to handle. First, over paid is a strictly relative term. If you were the CEO of a giant company, and made a few million dollars a year for doing it, would you consider yourself " over paid " and return 85% of your salary?? The people who own the teams that pay these guys don't seem to be doing too much complaining about the players being " over paid ". Especially when they are winning. Second, just because these guys make a whole lot of money for what they do doesn't mean that parents should look to them to mentor their children. |

I happen to be A Virginia Tech Fan(From where Vick started) and I must say I think it sends a statement to our children. He should not have been reinstated if you ask me.

Second, just because these guys make a whole lot of money for what they do doesn't mean that parents should look to them to mentor their children. its not necessarily the parents telling the kids to look up to someone. the kids see a famous player and think "i wanna be like.... when i grow up". i am an eagles fan and my son knows what vick did. we will not wear vick jerseys (my son wouldnt wear one simply b/c he is sickened by what happened, not b/c i said so) but we will still support our team. when vick was signed, my son and i had a talk about what he did and he said he doesnt like him but he hopes he can play good since he is now on our team. to michelle2you: go hokies! |

Vick got reinstated for the same reason Simpson got away with murder. In this county,athletes are put on pedestals. It's disgusting. At least Simpson will die behind bars,sadly Vick will not. be seeing you Vick did the crime, he was tried, convicted... he served his prison sentence... If you don't like the punishment, take it up with the government. I am a network engineer - If I committed the same crime, should I be denied my ability to make a living in my chosen profession - becuase I committed an un-related crime? He did his crime, paid his penalty - why do you feel the need to take away the man's ability to make a living...?? Of course he should play... I hope he does well, and still has his god given talent... I also hope he has learned his lesson. |

That sends a message as well. Had he not been reinstated, what message would that have been?? The message would have been," No matter what, if you screw up you are branded with that for LIFE! No second chances. If you screw up, you will NEVER be allowed to do what you want to do for a living because, no matter how much you regret it, and no matter what you do to try to make up for it, you will have become a person who is not worth anything at all. " What kind of message is that for kids to see? |

" What kind of message is that for kids to see? very good point hhhhhmmmmmmmmm lets see they let a manson murderess out for compassionate reasons and let a terrorist bomber out for compassionate reasons both killed humans multiple humans and did not serve their full sentence and vick kills a few dogs (which the govt does regularly by the way and a lot more than a few) [the animal shelter is not a safe place for animals] and he does his time gets out and you do not want him to go back to his previous profession yet if those other two go on world wide tv you will support their release by watching the show they are on some double standard there i would say |

Humans in general are carnivores so we have to kill to eat but their is a difference when you kill a chicken to feed people or kill a dog for pleasure and money.
I do not believe in killing for pleasure, I eat meat because I want to survive (I hate vegetable or i would be a vegetarian) I would never kill an animal as a sport (hunting) or for money. How a human treats its domestic animal is a barometer on what kind of person he/she is, so training animals to kill each other and then kill the looser because he makes you lose money just tells me that they are not what I would consider a human being. |
