Michael Vick and Nike

This follows the other post about Michael Vick and the NFL ban. Nike is Vick's biggest sponsor. Vick has a multi-year, multi-million dollar endorsement contract with Nike, and Nike is about to release a new $100 sneaker called the Zoom Vick V, to follow-up his previous releases.

IF you are so inclined, I would urge Nike to pull their sponsorship of Vick and to cancel the release of this sneaker.

Vick needs to be taken down a notch, only a month ago he told an Atlanta TV station: "Everywhere I go, all around the world, people still support Mike Vick. So regardless of what I go through people gonna love me."

Re: Michael Vick and Nike

Thanks for posting this. I did email them and this was their (very fast!) response:

Thank you for contacting us regarding Michael Vick.

Nike is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made
against Michael Vick and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane
and abhorrent. We do believe that Michael Vick should be afforded the
same due process as any citizen, therefore, we have not terminated our
relationship. We have however made the decision to suspend the release of
the Zoom Vick V and related marketing communications. Nike will
continue to monitor the situation closely and have no further comment at this
time.

We appreciate that you took the time to contact us and your feedback
will be passed along to the proper department.

Sincerely,

Nike

Good! That's better than previous responses that some people have gotten. They must have just decided to delay the release, which is at least some progress!

Thanks for writing!
