I posted a story on this blog entitled “Michael Vick…” (click HERE to read this post and comments) back when Vick was released from jail. I wonder what Soledad and CNN would have to say about Michael Vick in a Black in America segment? 
As of now, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reinstated Vick, assuming a team is willing to sign him, but has to adhere to some provisions until mid-October when he would be eligible for full reinstatement into the NFL.
For now…
Vick can immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games…Once the season begins, Vick may participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the latest.
What team do you think would consider Vick? Do you think his fans have and/or will forgive him?

Another example of holding a brother down. There is no need for the additional penalty by the commish.
The sad thing about this story is how weak the NFL Players union is. Most other sport unions would have been fighting this crap.
Peace-
I am happy for Michael Vick and I truly do not believe this brother should have been punished like that with all of the corruptness in the world. How many human beings are dying overseas? How many Black lives are being taken by police and nothing is done?
My two cents.
