The Humane Society has said it wants Nike to go further than a postponed shoe release, but Nike said it will neither sever its multi-million dollar endorsement deal with Vick nor recall any merchandise connected with the Falcon’s football star.

Vick's dogs have sometimes appeared in Nike commercials

I wonder why Nike is taking this position? What would they gain, and what would Vick gain?

my guess is lots and lots of money. the nike lawyers are likely looking for a way to end the contract and vicks' lawyers are looking for ways to force nike to pay off. cynical i know, but that's my guess.

I was reading an article on Vick, I wish I would have saved it. Anyway, he was quoted saying this, "Everybody still gonna love me"!

In his dreams everybody still gonna love him.

Yupper ... he just didn't finish the sentence ...

"Everybody still gonna love me Going to JAIL!"

I pray he rots for what he has done. Those poor dogs. This is why Pit Bulls have such bad reps and are immediately put down when brought to shelters. If only we can change things for them.

Well, then we need to show Nike just how much money this *association* with Vick is going to cost them.

THis is the first I've heard about this but, other NFL players could also
be involved. I hope they take them all down.

This is a given.
DFing is an very clique-y thing. If he was betting 10-30 gs a fight there are not too many people with ordinary jobs that could do that.

One of the things that was tossed around by the media was a plea deal for MV-He rolls on his friends and he gets a bye.

He rolls on his friends and he gets a bye.

He might as well...he'll never be trusted by the public again where animals or anything else is concerned, and turning all the fighters in will save a few dogs, maybe a LOT of dogs.

And if these clowns know of other rings (raid their computers!), this could be a big bust.

I am currently watching a show. They were just speaking of Vick and fighting dogs. They were talking about how this is a horrible thing. At the end they aired a sound clip in which someone (not one of their crew) remarked that, "Having a pit bull is like having a crack pipe. There's really only one reason for it."
