Email received from Subway Here is an email I received from Subway today as well as my response - Thank you for taking the time to write to us about your concern with our sponsorship of the Sportsman of the Year award on BET recently. We certainly do not support what Michael Vick did or condone his past actions. As sponsors of the BET program, our intention was to demonstrate our support for outstanding achievements. The winners of these awards were chosen by an independent panel and sponsors are not given any control or influence over the decision process. Subway doesn't have a relationship with the current winner, Michael Vick, and we can assure you we are continuing to review and improve our advertising and promotional selection procedures. Thank you for your input and for taking the time to write. Sincerely, Samantha Wargo Customer Care Representative Comment ID: 2366740
I sent the following response -
Was any board member or employee of Subway aware that Michael Vick was a nominee before he received the award? Has Subway ever been a sponsor of a show involving Michael Vick, and if so, what were the dates of the sponsorship? Until I receive a response to these questions, I will continue to boycott Subway. |
