You seem to sympathize with Vick and giving a second chance. I understand that, but the NFL could care less about his personal life. They want to milk him for all he is worth financially. Nothing more.
I don't get them impression that Sooner's sympathy is for Vick specifically. Rather (correct me if I'm wrong Santiago) ... it seems that Sooner is willing to give the benefit of the doubt to any violator who has, according to the law, served their time and paid their debt.

At least that seems to be his reasoning. And I share it. (big surprise, there!)

But if, in fact, the NFL's reasons for reinstating him are less noble -- why do I care? I don't think anyone here has any illusions regarding the ethical standards of pro-sports these days.
