Does Michael Vick deserve forgiveness?

I think in the gambling & sports world people are more forgiving.

It's one of the most heated debates.

Do you believe he served his time & time to move on?

Are you one that will never get over what he did to those dogs?

What's your thoughts on Michael Vick now?

I believe he served his time & time to move on. It was a terrible thing he did to the dogs but it appears he is sincere about the changes he has made in his life.

I believe he served his time and I forgive him. Everyone deserves a second chance. We have all been forgiven at times through life.

It's hard for me to forgive that easy...I think it's because these are innocent animals...Im not going to lie, half of it is because of the hip hop thug life mentality that is represented by him and his posse.

He did his time and has so far straightened his life out. People are so quick to come down on this guy but other guys in the league have done far worse and suffered less. Killing guys, dui's, beating wives etc...

It is time for people to move on with the Vick situation. He did his time. He lost millions. His reputation will always be tarnished. Time to move on.

Some people will never forgive him.

He paid an extreme price for the crime he committed. My feeling is he's paid his debt to society. Move on.

I believe he has changed his life around and is worth forgiving for what he did. As Ive said in the past many times, he was brought into the world of dogfighting at a very young age before he probably even knew what was right from wrong and just went along with it. Thats one reason why Im willing to forgive what he did. If he was 18 or 19 when he first got into all this, I probably wouldnt be as sympathetic. We have rapists and murderers still playing professional sports and no one seems to care about them, so let Vick play his game and lets forget the past and move on...

Pretty much echo most of the posters here. We've all messed up doing one thing or another. Not saying the guy should be canonized or anything but who among us is perfect?

The guy made a mistake and paid a very steep price for it...time to forgive and move on.

if you can't forgive, you'll die an unhappy person


I don't forgive Dwayne Carraway for giving him a key to the city (Dallas)... Stupidity of City Council(s) never ceases to amaze me...
