Michael Vick is a wanted man — on the field. Earlier this month, the United Football League said they would be interested in adding Vick to their league. Today, the Minor Football League said the same.
The Minor Football League, which has teams located in states that include Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, would be happy to allow Vick while Vick tries to get reinstated into the NFL.
As Richard Myles, the founder and president of Minor Football League, told the Associated Press: “One of the things that is important to the MFL is to showcase the quality of the players and the coaches who want to transition into the NFL, as well as give back to our communities by mentoring our youths.”
Myles went on to say that Minor Football League requires its players to perform community service and that his league would allow Vick to redeem himself.
While Vick is free to sign with Minor Football League or the United Football League, most NFL experts believe that Vick will focus on re-entering the NFL. To do that, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly wants proof that Vick is sorry for what he has done and is ready to be a role model.

I really hope he gets to go back into the NFL. It’s incredible when you think about some of the things people might be doing that we don’t know about. I know the dog fights are cruel and I’m not condoning or minimizing it but I’m hoping he can get his life back on track.
I think Vick has done his time and paid his dues. He did prison time, he did a construction job for just 10 dollars an hour, hes bankrupt, and hes been getting involved in community work with young youths. He probably doesnt have that much time left in him so i say let him finish in the NFL and retire with his dignity.
Michael Vick deserves to be reinstated to the NFL. Sign the petition to get Michael reinstated today!
