More than Touchdowns: Vick’s Reentry from Prison

There has been a lot of talk about Michael Vick and his hiring by the Philadelphia Eagles. I realize the benefit of having this versatile athlete in the backfield, especially after our troubles inside the 20 yard line last year, but there are more important issues his hiring has brought to mind. The transition from prison to the work force is one that many persons and families deal with on a daily basis. As recent as 2007, Prison Statistics show that there are 2,310,984 men and women incarcerated in the Federal, State and Local prison system. Out of this number, 5.1 million will be released on probation or parole in our American communities. Michael Vick’s situation is not unique and brings to light an essential topic that should be addressed, especially for many of the public who are hammering the Philadelphia Eagles for making a grievous error in judgment by hiring an ex-felon. For a safe and better country, America needs to accept and help ex-prisoners adjust and succeed in their society by providing good paying jobs and promoting an environment of support and acceptance for true rehabilitation.

I saw just how easy I had it as a fan of the Birds, compared to the hard time I would get if I liked another team, like say the Dallas Cowboys. And it was only after this realization that I came up with the great idea of writing a thank you letter to Eagles President Joe Banner for all the effort he puts into making the life of every Eagles fan so fun and carefree.
