My first reaction to this story. Wow! Someone is actually going to take a chance on this guy. I must tell you that I have mixed emotions about this issue:
First, I do believe everyone has a second chance in life and that people make mistakes. I do believe that after you have served your time that you should be given a second chance.
Second, I do have a problem however giving a guy a second chance that took the money that fans gave him and used it to kill animals. Now I am in no way a PETA activist, but I do think these animals were taught to do something that is inhumane.
Finally, I don't have a problem with him playing football or a team signing him to a multi-year deal as the Eagles have done. I think that is unfair to the normal everyday American, because we aren't given the same treatment. But hey that's American justice, if you have money you can buy your way out of any problem. I hope that in his return that he turns out to be a better quarterback than he was on his last outing and that he learns from his mistakes.
I know that a lot of people friends and family have mixed emotions on this issue. I would like to see what you think about this topic. Please post your comments. I will also add a poll to so that we can vote.

Yes. I think people deserve second chances who serve their time. But I believe he deserve the same kind of second chance a regular person would get. If you or I had a job as a CEO of a company making multi-millions of dollars, but got convicted of a felony, and went to jail for two years. Upon getting out I do not believe that a company would hire you or I back as a CEO with a multi-million dollar contract.
ReplyDeleteNope, he shouldn't be allowed to play until he pays back the Falcon's and fans for all the money that he stole from them when he went to jail. Yes, I say stole because the Falcon's still had to pay him even though he, MV, was the one who committed the criminal act. Where's the justice?
