Nike turns down request to sack Vick

PAUL NEWBERRY

Associated Press

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - Nike has no plans to dump Michael Vick from its roster of celebrity athletes, turning aside a request from the national Humane Society to cut ties with the Atlanta Falcons quarterback over alleged ties to dogfighting.
Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, on Tuesday released a letter that he sent to the apparel giant.
"We trust that Nike does not want to be associated with any celebrity who is linked to this odious form of animal cruelty," Pacelle wrote.
Nike spokesman Dean Stoyer said the company planned to honor its lucrative deal with Vick, who worked with the company to design a line of athletic shoes and has been used prominently in advertising campaigns.

Good for Nike. I personally think that Vick was involved, but until he's convicted, I don't see any reason them to back out of their contract. Well, maybe because he's just not a very good QB, but not for possibly doing something that hasn't been proven yet.

Chris Mortenson is reporting that the feds have told the NFL and/or the Falcons that Vick himself will probably not be indicted for dog fighting.

If that's true, evertbody will draw their own conclusion as to whether that means:

a - He's innocent
b - He's probably guilty but they can't build a credible case against him
c - He's guilty, but somebody's getting paid off to either take the fall for him, or to not prosecute
