Exactly when is Michael Vick's debt considered paid?

Help me understand what makes Michael Vick the worst human being of the past 10 years.  I almost feel as if people have more compassion for Osama Bin Laden than Vick.  The Philadelphia Eagles have given Vick a huge vote of confidence by hooking him up with a 6-year $100 million contract, some of which is guaranteed money.  And quite a few of the animal rights folks are majorly hacked off.

Like anyone else, I value life, and I'm a dog lover.  I don't think what Vick did was cool at all.  Vick has admitted time and time again that his financing a dog fighting ring was irresponsible and simply not a good thing.  In fact, he did more than admit it.  He went to jail for it.  He had a great NFL career that got interrupted by his being young and stupid with too much money and a useless allegiance to his boys.  And I repeat, not only does he admit that, but he went to jail for it.  For a lot of animal rights folks, however, that's not enough.

Vick has been a speaking tour to steer young people away from animal cruelty.  It's not enough.  He said he wanted a dog.  The animal rights people thought that was a travesty.  He got picked up by the Eagles.  They screamed bloody murder.  Now, he's gotten the kind of news that would make the average person cry tears of a joy.  Cue the collective cries of "This is ridiculous!!!"

Does Vick deserve that kind of money?  I would argue that he doesn't.  From a pure football fan's standpoint, Vick is good, but I'm not sure he's that awesome.  Does he deserve the second chance that he has gotten?  I say yes.  He did his time, period.  I mean, there isn't this kind of outrage when innocent Black men are gunned down by rogue cops!  Yes, I went there, and I'll buy as many round trip tickets as I can to keep going there.

I understand where the animal rights people are coming from, but they really need to let this man live his life.  If he screws around and gets into the same trouble, have at him by all means.  Anybody that stupid doesn't intend to straighten up.  In the meantime, respect the fact that he was caught, got arrested, convicted, did his time, and does his level best to show a better side of Mike Vick.
