Michael Vick paid his debt to society. So, why did the Falcons release him? Some people might argue that he can still play pro-football. He can still play quarterback in the NFL. That you don’t keep a man who makes millions of dollars from making a living at what he does best and that is play football. That he has learned his lesson and a strong message has been sent to others who might think of crossing the line between football hero and dog killer.
Vick may still play professional football somewhere, but if he does he will draw animal lovers and their allies to every stadium he plays in. Yes, organized and not so organized protesters will hound Michael Vick until he just won’t be worth the bad publicity.
This is why the Falcons had to release him.
