Anyone that has ever needed a second chance would certainly agree with the premise, that everyone does deserve an opportunity to make things right. The more appropriate question would be – do we believe in second chances for athletes when our team(s) are the ones providing that opportunity. If Ra’Shede Hageman has indeed turned the corner, the Falcons should welcome him back with open arms.
There is certainly a case to be made that over the last couple of years the Falcons should have provided second chances for players like Richie Incognito and La’El Collins, both would have been a vast improvement over the guards and RT the team has employed recently.
