Micheal Vick should play in the UFL (United Football League) if the NFL suspends him next season.

First to refute my opponents argument. To summarize his case my opponents claims that "Vick should not be playing football in the UFL or anywhere because he should be in prison". This statement has no validity anywhere, unless my opponent has invented a time machine. In which cases he can go back to the Micheal Vick dog fighting trail and have the punishment be more serve. And for anyone that things you can change his punishment now, let me remind you of something called double jeapordy. No individual can be tried for the same crime twice. Thus, Vicks punishment has been set, carried out, and now as far as the goverment is conserned over. Thus, Vick (as all criminals released back into society) must re-aclimate themselves to the real world. My opponent makes the argument that the crimes commited by Vick are 'equal if not greater than murder', however 1)the only way this where to be true if you valued a hundred dogs lives over one humans which is popseress and 2)Even if you want to believe that it his, then let the punishment fit the crime. Vick spent 18 monthes in prison and 6 under house arrest. Donte Stallworth (. http://sports.espn.go.com...) who only got 30 days in Jail for killing a pedestrian in a hit and run DUI. My opponents problem seems to be with the American Judicial system and it not offering proper or as long of punishment as they would like. I would suggest him to write his congressman and try to get that changed. I, nor him, nor most of America can change the American Judicial system. We have to live with it choses, and thus Micheal Vick is again within the American society and actively seeking employment. My opponent wishes to change the American Judicial system, which he simply can not do. Considering Micheal Vick is indeed not in Jail and out in the American Populous, he must as I've stated seek employment. My opponent argues that there are plenty of other jobs out there and Vick doesn't have to go into pro football. Peraphs pro football is not Vicks only option, but it is his best chance. In six season in the NFL, Micheal Vick proved is validity as a pro quaterback. He has played at the highest league at the best level. Even if Vick is not allowed back into the NFL (because he gets suspended) then why not go somewhere else and still get paid? Vick, as I've stated, needs money to pay off debts he's accumulated through this whole dog fighting ordeal. And maybe my opponent hasn't noticed, but our current economic climate is not of that to stumble into an new careers that would make Vick any money. The UFL would still previde a pay day of about $600,000 this year, plus a good chance to get back into the NFL if Vick plays good. The money is to good for Vick to ignore, when no other job he could possible get would pay him that kind of money other than playing in the NFL. Vick has a natural talent. Some of us where born to be programmers, or firefighters, or policeman. Anyone who's seen Vick play has to admit, he was just born to play football. My opponent then goes on to argue that having Vick in the UFL would be bad plablicity, which they certainly wouldn't want. Look, as the guys on ESPNews aircheck where saying yesterday (6/20/09) "Some Americans just won't forgive Vick, they're not willing to give him a second chance. But they're are fans out there that want to see him get back on the field. " Some people which watch him, and those people that hate him maybe they'll watch just to root against him. The plain simple truth is I watch ESPN all the time, read the sports page in the paper everyday, and am surfing the web for sports stories almost constantly. This is the first story I've heard about the UFL in 5 monthes, since they announced a former NFL head coach as one of the coaches for the new league. Noone is paying attention to this league, mostly because it is very unlikely that it will make it, but that aside you have to believe that people have to start talking about it. If this league, the UFL, has games on Friday and noone know they're playing them; how are they suppose to get any money? Having someone play in there league like Micheal Vick, would at least have all the big News Medias and Sport Station talking about the league to follow him. And in the case that the league is at least being exposed, the league benefits. Seriously, let me pose this question to my opponent and voters: Can you name any players currently planning to play in the UFL this season? Can you name the teams in the league? How many games in there season? What's they're play-off format? How do the rules differ from that of the NFL? What is the purpose of this league? Basically you are all drawing blanks. The reason for this is becuase the league has recieved no publicity, and thus noone know about it. You want publicity, then you need new outlets to be willing to talk about you. And having someone as famous, and maybe even as contrevesial, as Micheal Vick will allow the UFL to do that. FYI: The only awsner I know from those questions is the number of games (6) because they're where talking about it on ESPN when they where talking about if Vick should play in the UFL. Also, I'm sure you could find most of the information on the official UFL website (www. ufl-football. com/), but really is it your responsibilty to go find out this league exsists? ?? ?
