Philly Eagle's Quaterback Michael Vick Tells All About His Dark Past

Michael Vick, ex convict and Philadelphia Eagle's quarterback speaks to 200 Nueva Esperanza Academy freshmen in Philly, informing them the dangers of falling under peer pressure. Vick had been in the federal pen for 18 months for running a dogfighting ring and because of his actions his contract with the NFL, which made him one of the highest paid players, had been suspended. Once he got out of prison in July, he was signed back on the team. Many animal rights organizations were outraged by NFL's decision. But doesn't Vick deserve a second chance to prove himself? He claims that he is reformed from his past experiences and now acts like a spokesperson for anti- peer pressure organizations. I think he deserves to prove himself to his best potential.
