I know that there aren't too many followers of NFL outside of the States, but it would be interesting to get an international view of the whole Michael Vick situation.
Personally, i think he has paid more than enough to "society" with his near two-year imprisonment/house arrest and i think he deserves a chance to do what he does well. After being out of the game for two years and paying hefty fines he is now $16-20 million in debt and has declared bankruptcy.
On a separate, yet similar, note, another NFL player, Donte Stallworth, plead guilty to DUI manslaughter and served 24 days in jail, paid the family of the victim and only got a one season suspension...
