Nike has suspended its contract with Vick, Reebok has pulled the ol' #7 jersey from stores, and we won't see any more Vick trading cards from Donruss (whose owner brings her 5 Labs to work every day). Thanks to the enormous campaign that the Humane Society of the United States has launched, Michael Vick is no longer the spoiled & untouchable athlete he once was. Just like SILK said in his post, I don't believe for one second that Vick is not guilty. Your name doesn't get mentioned 50 times in a 19 page federal indicment unless the feds have a strong case. Now Vick has been named as a "person of interest" in an Arizona dogfighting investigation. I'll bet that when all the information surrounding this case becomes public, Vick will be tied to dogfighting rings in several states & possibly other countries (Mexico is a hotbed for dogfighting. Mexico...Ron Mexico...how fitting!)
Thank you, NIKE, REEBOK & DONRUSS for recognizing the severity of this situation!

Yipee and thanks Bagheera for that link to send a letter to nike! I think TR said it best,"and all we ever were, just zeros and ones"...to me that means we are more when we stand up together, when we stand alone we are nothing!
Ahhhh, yes...the wisdom of TR...I wonder what he thinks of the Vick situation, being that he is such an animal lover?
