Michael Vick- should he be reinstated?

"EVERYBODY KNOWS I'VE GOT GREAT TALENTS AND GIFTS AND CAN DO THINGS 90 PERCENT OF THE GUYS IN THE LEAGUE CAN'T DO." Michael Vick

Michael Vick said the above, back when he was a standout NFL quarterback. Until 2007, he was one of the premier players and was respectable by fans, players, and coaches. He was the number one pick for the Atlanta Falcons in 2001, and played for the franchise until April 25th, 2007, when Vick's house was searched for narcotics in his Surry County, Virginia home. The 25 acre estate was in the same county as historical attractions Jamestown and Yorktown, but is also known as home to interstate dog fighting.
Vick was released two months ago from federal prison, and was on probation until Sunday.
Turn on Around the Horn, PTI, or Jim Rome is Burning, and the hot topic is all about whether or not Roger Goodel will reinstate the playmaker into the game.
NFL Analyst reactions are bittersweet; the Falcons PR is saying the team may not be interested in him.

Michael Vick should not be reinstated, under any circumstances.

Imagine if the "average Joe" had been sent to federal jail under a heinous, cruel crime. Would he get to keep a sinecure before jail? After two years?
Athletes are somehow above the rule of law. Vick can go back and resume his superstar life? Thank God his reputation was injured in the process.
That reputation in Band-Aids is also not going to help Vick get back into football at all. How many fans do you think will be buying Vick's jersey and memorbilia, except as a dog toy?
Professional football is a business. Professional football is an occupation. Professional football needs to start acting like it.
