What are your thoughts on Michael Vick playing today.?

Today Michael Vick will play football. I personally do not feel good about that. For those who have followed his saga after his arrest for dog fighting and read about the extreme cruelty these animals were subjected to, I feel I will never be able to respect the Eagles again. I am a fan looking for a new favorite team.

Some say Vick has paid his debt to society and deserves a 2nd chance, I'm sorry, but there is a line somewhere out there that says when a person crosses that line, they show themselves as being something other than human. They have lost all respect for other living beings. For me Vick has crossed that line.

I am disappointed in the NFL for even considering letting him play again, and especially disappointed in the Eagles for allowing him to play again.

    have to go against answers. i agree with you. will not watch football. one team due to family member on team. put simpson in the backfield. it is wrong. his second chance is getting a real job. let him work for minimum wage. that is his second chance. nobody should be allowed to set this kind of example. i agree , no way should the n f l allow him back. simpson should be pulled from the hall of fame. these are not examples . dump him.

    Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. In his interviews he seemed very sorry for what he did. Im glad he's playing again.

    Who are you to draw the line? It was dogfighting, not drive by shootings. Vick-throw for 400 yds, 6 tds, and kick someones ***. Man has a job to do and he has been cleared to do it so I say "Leave him alone". He can buy and sell you for breakfast.

    Well I think he deserves a second chance and he did pay his time. We all make mistakes but that doesn't necessarily mean our careers should be over.
