Although I could think of several valid reasons people could argue for why he should not be allowed back into the NFL, the whole "positive role model" for kids spill is NOT one of them. Why on Earth as a parent would you sit back and wait for your child's morals to be shaped and influenced by celebrities? That should be a parent's job, not something a celebrity should be responsible for! Furthermore, it's up to each parent to decide if Vick or anyone else is someone they want to allow their kids to look up to. (Although I can't imagine why anyone would!
)
I think generally speaking and putting the matter simply: People dislike the fact that Vick is going to be allowed to go back to a job where he will be in the public eye and where he will be making lots of money.
