Vick Loses Nike Deal
After the dog-fighting scandal resulted in an indictment, Michael Vick has been suspended from his big money contracts with Nike, Reebok and a trading card company.
This week, Nike released a statement, “Nike is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made against Michael Vick, and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent.” The company had already ceased selling all Vick-related products, but chose not to suspend the contract until the case was filed.
Reebok has stopped selling Vick’s jersey, as has the NFL, and the Donruss trading card company has pulled Vick’s card from new packs.
Sorry, Vick. But at least this might encourage people to stop dogfighting.
