Nike - Michael Vick - Cruelty to Animals :mad: :mad: :mad: Nike has decided to keep Michael Vick as their spokesperson, despite the fact that he was federally indicted for cruelty to animals. Because of this decision, I will NEVER purchase another Nike product. If you feel the same, please call 1-800-344-6453 9am-7pm ET, M-F. Press prompt #5. Leave your name, your state and inform them that you will no longer purchase their products. Please help pass the word. You'll never see another Nike "swoosh" in my house!!! |
Easy enough- |
I am calling. No more nikes for our house either |

Nike is wrong for this. What he did was horrible |
I stopped buying nike products back in 1995/6 when I was in the 6th grade after I did a research project and wrote an essay (it was runner-up in Time for Kids) about Child Labor and the Nike Corp. was huge in using child labor sweat shops in foreign countries. This just adds another reason why I will never wear Nike brand anything or purchase it. |
You got it. I will pass this info around the office as well. I hope this SOB rots forever in jail and goes straight to H_LL. Better yet, pour water on him and touch him with a hot wire and electricute him like he did the losers in the ring. He's not even human and think of all the kids who look up to this sicko! |

Seriously what are they thinking? I quit buying Nike a while back but my husband still does. Not any more. He's going to have to find a substitute. |
Nike The person who took my complaint was extremely nice and encouraged me to do so. |
is it possible that Nike has to wait for a conviction before they drop him? or at least a formal indictment. perhaps after he is convicted, which it's likely he will be -- they'll drop him. There may be other contractual legalities we're not aware of. I just can't imagine Nike keeping him on after all this. I just hope what I'm thinking would give some explanation as to their actions thus far. |
He is now is being held w/ formal charges against him. I've seen big name companies drop athletes and stars for less. I can't imagine why they haven't let him go yet. Maybe he was sleeping w/ the CO's daughter? :D In either case, I'm more of a New Balance shoe girl myself. My clothing and shoes take a beating and so far that's the only brand that has held up to what I dish out! :p |
I just found this quote in USA Today: A statement released by Nike Inc. said the company "is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made against Michael Vick, and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent. We do believe that Michael Vick should be afforded the same due process as any citizen; therefore, we have not terminated our relationship. I truly believe that once Vick has received due process and found GUILTY---NIKE will drop him like a hot potato. Suzi |

My husband said that ESPN was reporting NIKE had dropped him?:confused: I think what he did was horrible, don't get me wrong. But this is a 'innocent until proven guilty' society we live in. Until he is actually convicted...I don't see why they would drop him. Same for the Falcons--they have not imposed any diciplinary sanctions on him either. Now I believe he probably WAS involved, but I don't see why anyone would or should take action until that has been proven and becomes 'official.' |
Bama, too true. |
