He's presumed innocent, let him play. Let him lead you to the playoffs, and maybe even go to Hawaii. And then be convicted and face sentencing in March '08.

You share a lot of concern for issues that we cover and will cover at the How Blogazine (www.HowsMatter.com/blog). Author Dov Seidman recently posted on the effect Barry Bonds' reputation will have on the way people will view his achievements through history. He compares it to how businesses must learn to deal with the effect of reputation on their efforts. I think you'll find it fascinating.

They don't feel the outrage a normal human being feels. Neither does the NFL. I am so saddened by this realization. I will never attend another NFL game or watch one on tv ever again. I am truly revolted. your right about Atlantic Falcons only responding to outside pressures. They don’t feel the outrage a normal human being feels. Neither does the NFL.

But I want to point something out about your reply to Cheryl. You said "“Don’t say innocent until proven guilty”. That is a misquoted legal term that applies only to the judicial branch. The presumption of innocence (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presumption_of_innocence) is an important part of our government, but it doesn't hold the person on the street to that standard. Daniel,

It's really awful and tarnishes the sport, even if they choose to suspend him at a later time. Clearly, if they suspend him now, they're only responding to "outside pressure," not doing what they think is right. What does that say? The public is overwhelmingly against Vick. At my day job, we put up a neat interactive poll and 90% so far have voted against Vick: http://www.ugo.com/a/love-or-hate/?person=michael-vick Clearly, the Falcons and the NFL believe their fans care more about winning than about animals’ lives.
