Vick Suspended "Indefinitely"
Which is not for life. But it will take some positive step -- remorse, etc. -- by Vick to undo the ban, presumably.
The NFL has suspended Michael Vick indefinitely.
...
Friday afternoon, a letter to Vick from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said, in part:
"Your admitted conduct was not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible. Your team, the NFL, and NFL fans have all been hurt by your actions."
"Your plea agreement and the plea agreements of your co-defendants also demonstrate your significant involvement in illegal gambling. Even if you personally did not place bets, as you contend, your actions in funding the betting and your association with illegal gambling both violate the terms of your NFL Player Contract and expose you to corrupting influences in derogation of one of the most fundamental responsibilities of an NFL player."
Goddell writes he will "review" the suspension at some later date, after all legal matters are resolved.
I'm not sure how such a review can wind up excusing the illegal gambling thing.
