Says here...that Frank Beamer will support Mike Vick's efforts to re-instated to the NFL.
During his speech, Beamer talked about a few of the lessons he’s learned in his life, including the value of a positive attitude, maturity, and the fact that a person’s life can change in a split second.
In keeping with this message, Beamer said he would support former Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick in his efforts to get re-instated with the National Football League. Vick, who played at Tech before he went to Atlanta, was suspended from the NFL in 2007 after he was charged with running a dog-fighting ring out of his Surry County, Va., home. Vick, 28 of Newport News, Va., pleaded guilty to the charges in November 2007 and was sentenced to spend 23 months in federal prison.
“[Michael Vick’s] sorry for what he’s done and realized he’s made a mistake,” Beamer said.
Letting Vick play football again, Beamer said, would give the former quarterback a chance to show the world how it’s possible for a person to redeem themselves after they’ve made a mistake.
Here Here. I agree with you Frank. And I'll support him too, especially since my Niners have dilusions that Shaun Smith can somehow get us back to relevance in the league. Beyond that though, I always have and always will feel like this entire thing with Vick was a complete witch-hunt and absolutely ridiculous. I see dead dogs on the side of the road on the way to work every day. Where's the outrage? Let that man resume his career. He's done (well almost completely done) his time, and when he gets out, he should have the right to be able to earn a living just like anyone else.
