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

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.
Quiznos has jumped on board. Here is what they have written:

From Quiznos:
To show our appreciation for all the support that we have been receiving, we are making a $1 donation to the American Humane Association for every new Facebook fan we gained over the past week! Thanks for being such great fans and don’t forget to keep it ‘Mmmmm… Toasty!
