I chose to look around the site Edge of Sports, the weekly sports column by Dave Zirin. I happened to like the site because it was pretty simple and to the point. I read a past column about Michael Vick and his transition to Philadelphia. Zirin gets in to the news part of the story, talking about the uproar heard throughout the city on different radio shows, and from the Philly fans themselves. I like how the column didn't focus too much time on what Vick had done and why fans were bothered by his addition to the Eagles. Instead he makes a good point that in a country with 2.3 million people behind bars, being an ex-felon doesn't necessarily mean you're a failure. Yeah, Vick did some pretty terrible things, but he's served his time and is broke right now as a consequence, and even after this season he still has a long way to go to get his life back on track. As any of us would want a second chance for our failures, he should get one too.
