QB Vick's sins is a disgrace to the league

If QB Michael Vick is forced to retire or suspended for longer, many people would think that serves him right.

What he did was considered crazy. He treated dogs brutally, told lies to his owner Arthur Blank and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and he gave financial support to an illegal gambling operation across state lines violated the Federal Rico statues. At last the federal authorities could not tolerate him and sentenced him 23 months of imprisonment.

As the end of Vick's confinement is coming near, a lot of people have not recovered from the anger with him. Animal rights groups are painting signs and organizing to protest any team who is willing to sign Vick. Members of the media are encouraging Commissioner Goodell to strip Vick of even more time away from the game with a lengthy suspension.

Really a shame, if the league are aware of their duties they would think so. In my opinion, a player like Vick, howerver good is his playing skill, he should just not appear in public as a star and idols to many young people.

Falcons will release suspended QB Vick

News coming from the Falcons says that they will release suspended quarterback Michael Vick on June 12th.

Vick is currently under home confinement because of a charge of dog-fighting. There is still 5 weeks left of the 23-month federal sentence. Although NFL commissioner Roger Goodell decides to reinstate Vick, the Falcons would not like to let Vick stay in team. They tried to trade Vick's rights but no one would take it. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff told media that they decides to release Vick so that he will be able to re-engage his football career in another club.

Vick was previously a good player. He was the first overall pick of the Falcons in 2001 and went to three Pro Bowls before he was imprisoned on dog-fighting charges in 2007.

“Michael remains suspended by the NFL. However, in the event NFL commissioner Roger Goodell decides to reinstate Michael, we feel his best opportunity to re-engage his football career would be at another club,” Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said in a statement. “Our entire organization sincerely hopes that Michael will continue to focus his efforts on making positive changes in his life, and we wish him well in that regard.”

Teaching material for other players. As NFL players, they should have done more things producing positive impact.
