Michael Vick reinstated

 

I would have a bigger problem if he was drunk. Yes, he was just being a thrill seeking idiot otherwise..

I cut and pasted this from Wiki:

 

On September 29, 2003, Heatley was seriously injured after he lost control of the Ferrari 360 Modena he was driving. The car struck a wall, splitting the car in half and ejecting him and his passenger, teammate Dan Snyder. Heatley suffered a broken jaw, a minor concussion, a bruised lung, bruised kidney, and tore three ligaments in his right knee; Snyder was critically injured with a skull fracture and died six days later on October 5 of sepsis. Heatley was charged with vehicular homicide; he pleaded guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain a lane, and speeding. He admitted to drinking some prior to the incident, but his blood-alcohol content was below the legal limit. He was sentenced to three years probation, and the judge, Rowland W. Barnes, required the court to approve Heatley's vehicle, which could not have more than six cylinders and would not surpass 70mph (112 km/h).^[5] Heatley avoided having to go to trial as part of a plea deal that dropped the first-degree charge of vehicular homicide.^[6]

 

 

Dany Heatley killed a teammate by being a complete idiot, with hardly any help from alcohol, and yet he was right back in lineup as soon as his own injuries were healed.  In fact, he got right back to making NHL all star teams without anyone blinking an eye.  I'm truely sickened everytime I see him take the ice but it seems like I'm in the minority somehow.

 

The guy KILLED a man while driving drunk.I don't see too many people complaining about that.He served 24 DAYS in jail.

 

It just pisses me off that so many people are ready to put Vick's head on a stick for dogfighting charges,which he went to jail for for 2 years,but Stallworth killed a guy driving drunk and no one says squat.He was sentenced to 30 days in jail,1,000 hours of community service,2 years of house arrest and 8 years of probation.He is suspended indefinitely from the NFL though.

 

It just seems like human life has been devalued,and that makes me sad.I saw enough of that in my time in the Army(especially in Somalia),but it never fails to shock,sadden and anger me.

When he was conditionally reinstated more than 2 dozen teams stated outright that they wouldn't touch him,so that leaves 8 to deal with all the rumors.
