Simply put... NO. With great power comes great responsibility something he has shown he doesn't have any of. I guess it runs in the family *shrug*. Honestly unless the NFL wants to advocate senseless acts of violence towards animals especially a breed like pit bulls that already have a bad wrap as it is, then I see them giving him a lifetime ban. Should also consider in APRIL when all of this first came about... he basically told his coach.. his teammates... and heres the kicker the commissioner that oh he didn't know about it and oh it was his relatives and his friends that were staying in that house. Now he pleaded guilty..... I don't think the commish is gonna be real happy about that.

Considering it sounds like he'll have to get through more charges at the state level, I'm not certain he will be out of prison early enough for this.
That being said, likely the Raiders could use a new QB and they are just the team who would look past all this.
Once he has actually paid his time, we should let him do what he can to pick up the pieces of his existence and move on.

Does it matter ? Even he is allowed back nobody will hire him. There isn't a team in the league that needs the combination of an average QB and above average security/ publicity nightmare that badly.
The more charitable among us may forgive him But nobody is going to forget the sick things that he did to those dogs
Edit
The anger of the person below me I think is fairly representative of the kind of ire and wrath that Vick will encounter should he attempt to play and there will be thousands and thousands of people just like her screaming and throwing things at every game .

no, nfl athletes are professionals who are expected to act as role models, not do whatever they want and think they can get away with it. vick should be made as an example of for the rest of the players in the league.

No he shouldn't and Goodell needs to throw the book at him. He lied and said he had nothing to do with. Now he's sorry for getting involved. Lifetime ban in the NFL, no chance of ever being inducted in the HOF.
And I hope the judge gives him the full 5 years. He deserves it.

My opinion - he should not be allowed to play. Nor should anyone else who commits heinous crimes like that. Kids look up to these athletes and I sure as hell don't want my kids looking at anyone who could be so cruel to an animal (or person) as a role model.

Yes but ONLY if he shows that he learned his lesson. He needs to go speak to kids about what he did. Go to classes to learn what happens. Yes he was a product of his environment. His efforts has to be more of him climbing a mountain and less then just a hill because he didn't immediately own up to his wrong doing.

Once Vick serves his time, he should have every right to return and make a living. I don't like what he did, but he deserves a second chance just like anyone else.
