Vick has served his time and I accept that. I don't believe he needs to have continual punishment for his crime. I still think professional athletes must be held to higher standards because of the broad reaching scope of their fan base, including impressionable children who fail to see tangible repercussions for criminal behavior.

I think giving Vick the award was a pathetic PR stunt by the Philadelphia Eagles organization. I am embarrassed to say they are my home team. Bring on the boo-birds!
