NAACP says Vick shouldn't be banned from football

So, the head of the NAACP in Atlanta says that Michael Vick shouldn't be banned from football on account of his dog fighting activities or because he's going to jail for a federal offense. Instead...

"We should join hands as a team and recognize the fact that Mr. Vick is human, humans make mistakes, but we maintain that he is a redeemable human,'' said R.L. White, president of the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP. "And as a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation."

If this wasn't a family friendly blog I think I might swear. "As a society we should aid in his rehabilitation,". What the heck is that!? I thought sending him to jail was aiding in his rehabilitation. Banning him from football - for any amount of time - is also aiding in his rehabilitation. Actions have consequences and getting kicked out of football is one of the consequences Vick is going to have to face. Maybe next time he will value the blessing of being able to play in the NFL a little more highly.
