So, everyone knows that I'm a fan of letting people have second chances. Particularly people who commit crimes of ignorance. Michael Vick for example. Lots of people feel very strongly about animals, and so this might offend some people. However, I feel that people should have a chance to prove that they learned their lesson when they serve their time. Unfortunately, the prison system, which claims to be a tool of rehabilitation, most often ends up with people in and out of jail because of how hard you have to be to survive inside. Adjusting to life on the outside is near impossible.
Michael Vick has done a very good job of turning his life around and keeping his nose clean since he's gotten out of prison. He's been a model citizen and a good team player, as well as a leader. He's shown the last few weeks that he can still lead a team. I'm glad that Andy Reid has decided to give him a chance to prove that he can win. He didn't bench him when he had the hot hand. It's no secret that if he had benched him, there would have been discussions about the racial issues. Benching the black quarterback for the white one even though the black quarterback was winning. So, I'm glad it didn't come to that. I hope number seven keeps showing us that redemption is always possible.
