I genuinely belive the NFL has no right to ban anyone for any grounds other than football grounds. If Michael Vick abuses animals it is nothing to do with the NFL.
If I committed a crime my employer would of course have the right to sack me for it, but I wouldnt expect the Office of Fair Trading to enforce my sacking... its the same with Vick. The Falcons should have the right to sack someone if they commit a crime, but again it has nothing to do with the NFL.

The NFL has a code of conduct which all players agree to when they sign their contracts. It basically boils down to the player agreeing not to make a complete Assclown oiut of himself and thereby throw a bad light on himself, his team and the league as whole. How hard is that to understand?
