I'm in very close agreement with Wayne's view on this matter, to be quite honest.
It seems like there are two arguments here: The court system, and the NFL contract.
1) Yes, the court system is highly flawed. All the time on the the local news, I see puppy mills and backyard breeders (who merely keep their animals in poor conditions and run the mill for profit) get caught. Compared to Vick, the crimes and cruelty these people committed is not anywhere near as bad, yet they get arrested and sentenced for as long (if not longer) as he did. What he did is
much worse and he should have gotten far worse punishment. It's unfortunate that he didn't, but there isn't anything we can do about it. Yes, it is the system to blame and not Vick -- for his lack of punishment.
2) The NFL had a choice: they didn't have to reinstate Vick into the NFL, and they don't have to employ him any more. It's the NFL's reputation that is lost to people/groups like Wayne, and I applaud the boycotting efforts.

Do you honestly think he can't afford to live off of what he has already made in his career? The rest of his life is paid off, I'm sure.
