Michael Vick, newly annointed hero to Philadelphia's children. The comeback story of the year in sports. A success story in rehabilitation and morality. Currently, one of the most popular players in the NFL.

However, not too long ago, his name was synonymous with evil, cruelty, and the all-too-familiar recklessness of spoiled sports athletes. He was a pariah. His supporters abandoned him in droves. Fans, team officials, sponsors, everyone wouldn't go near him. And, if anyone voiced any compassion for Vick, they were skewered by the public. Vick was literally the most hated person in sports and perhaps the world.

With one successful season as the starting QB for the Eagles, he's now a fan favorite and a media darling. These were the same ppl who vilified him as pure evil not that long ago. Is this a case of America's ability to forgive or is it an indication of its hypocrisy?

EDIT: should have put this in the "sports" section.
