By: E&P Staff A new Gallup poll, released today, finds that most pro football fans do not want Michael Vick playing in the National Football League ever again. The vast majority believe Vick should receive prison time for his involvement in dog fighting, "although most favor a short prison term over a long term," Gallup explains.
The poll of 1,001 adult was conducted last Thursday and over the weekend.
Vick formally entered his guilty plea in court and the NFL suspended Vick indefinitely, but some have complained that the penalty of a lifetime ban will be much too severe. But only 22% in the poll say they want their team to try to sign Vick when he emerges from prison.
According to the poll, "the vast majority of fans believe Vick should go to prison for his involvement in dog fighting, but more favor a 'short prison sentence' (51%) than a 'long prison sentence' (35%). Just 12% of fans believe Vick should not serve any prison time at all."
