I have no argument with what you are saying and I agree but .......sadly it is just a minority number of people.

Michael Vick, the Atlanta Falcons falcons quarterback who is currently serving a 23-month prison sentence, will reportedly seek to enter a drug treatment program that would shorten his sentence. It sounds like a great deal for Vick, if his goal is to get out of prison as quickly as possible and get back to the NFL

But there's just one problem. Presumably, to enter the prison drug treatment program, Vick had to admit to using illegal drugs. And an admission that he was using illegal drugs would constitute a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. Which means that the NFL could end up lengthening Vick's suspension. From ESPN Insider:

sources this week acknowledged to ESPN.com that the league is investigating the move made by Vick, which was orchestrated by his lead counsel, Billy Martin. The fallen Falcons star remains under indefinite suspension by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. And there has always been the possibility that Goodell could impose more definitive sanctions against Vick once the quarterback completes his 23-month prison term. The scope of those potential sanctions now could be affected by Vick's entry into the federal drug program. And that could mean that Vick -- who entered into the program in hopes that he might gain his release by the end of this year, and perhaps be available to play football again in 2009 could have his return further delayed.
