Now that the NFL has reinstated former Baltimore Ravens Ray Rice after video showing him beating his fiancé (now wife) unconscious in an elevator, the question arises – does everyone deserve a second chance?

Many teams don’t want to touch Rice and a few others are pursuing the talented running back under the guise that everyone deserves a second chance.

Putting this specific case aside, second chances are usually permitted in life when the perpetrator has shown remorse, undergone some meaningful maturation or change and is desirous of overcoming that which brought them down.

Second chances are earned not entitled.

Some of the best outcomes have been the result of second chances but be aware that often the same things happen again the second time around.

The difference being – remorse and the burning desire for a new course.
