Nike pulls everything Michael Vick

Not a big surprise really. I don't see how any companies would want to take the public relations hit that goes with being associated with Vick. Kudos to Donruss and Reebok for pulling their Vick related stuff.

PETA still sucks, though.

I thought I heard this morning on the news that he was found Not Guilty.

Personally, I'd never heard of Michael Vick until this thread, but today they mentioned on the news that he was found innocent of these charges. So why is everyone still down on him?

Never heard of him either, but that article explains why Larry King had some episode on yesterday about dog fighting which I tuned into and tuned right back out of. I can't stand to hear about stuff like that.

Hope I think he pled not guilty, not was found not guilty. It hasn't gone to trial yet as far as I know...it's a bit quick for that.

Yeah, he just plead not guilty.

Good for the companies, though. I cenrtainly wouldn't want to have a contract with such disgusting scum like that.

Well, yes, good for Nike and Reebok - it was a sound business and marketing decision.

I do hesitate to congratulate the `ethical' decisions of companies that profit off the slave labour of children in third world countries. I wouldn't buy anything off Nike if you paid me to do so. However, anything that damages Vick's hip pocket at this point in time is a wonderful, wonderful thing. That will hurt him much more than the court of public opinion. Unfortunately, I'm sure there are many scum out there who feel he hasn't done a thing wrong

I love football! Mike Vick used to really impress me and I liked him a lot. Now he can burn in for all I care.
But, not my point...I was in Target 2 days ago and they are selling Mike Vick footballs still; I turned them all on their sides and pushed them back on the shelf to where no one could see them.
I think all stores would pull his merchandise off the shelves regardless of whether or not they are Reebok or whatever else. I wanted to puncture them all, but figured I don't need to pay fines and get thrown in jail because of this idiot!!
