I’m sick and tired of people tossing around the “judge not lest ye be judged” like a football at the park on Sunday.
What he said and what he meant was be careful how you judge others because you will judged in the same way.
I would bet that most of the people who think that Vick’s should not be able to play in the NFL again would have no problem sentencing themselves to the same fate if they were caught running an illegal dog fighting ring.
Some people might forgive him, but they still would not want to watch him play football on national TV. Some people might think he had a chance to have a successful life making plenty of money, and instead used all that opportunity to run an illegal business that uses animals for blood sport.
P.S. Too bad that a restraining order didn’t stop Nicole Simpson from getting knifed, and too bad some consider having to carry a gun around to protect oneself from another human is an acceptable way to live. Perhaps if the sports world took violence against women and other humans as seriously as violence against animals, we wouldn’t be having this conversation because Vick’s would know that he would be gone, and might have made a better choice. That might not make him a better person but might have saved a lot of animals, and humans too.
