Killing dogs is nothing compared to killing humans IMHO. Not that what Vick did was right (if I had my way, none of these people would be playing right now), but if people who do worse things than Vick are still playing, then he deserves a chance to play as well.
Maybe if Goodell was commissioner, some of these players would not have been reinstated as soon as they were under the previous commissioner.
