There is no change in the status of the agreement between Nike and football player Michael Vick. Nike will continue to monitor the situation, but has nothing further to say at this time. We appreciate that you took the time to contact us and your feedback will be passed along to the proper department. Sincerely, Nike Customer (Wendy Escobedo) - 07/18/2007 11:40 AM Please, please make an example of Michael Vick. He is a SICK man, and so many kids look up to him because of his status as a football player. What kind of message will you send the future adults of our country if you do not take a hard stand against what Mr. Vick did to those poor animals? I would like to see Nike drop Mr. Vick as a spokesperson for your products. Hopefully, Nike has some sort of code of conduct for its spokespersons that Mr. Vick has violated so you can legally let him go. I hope you will take the high road by dismissing this spokesperson who is now reflecting negatively on your company. I also think that offering financial assistance to the organization that is caring for the dogs that were seized would be an act of good faith on your company's part. It would show that you really do care about what happened to these animals, not just about your bottom line. I am not some crazy animal advocate. Half the time, I think PETA is crazy for some of the things that their members have done, such as throwing food on celebrities wearing fur coats. I do not advocate that kind of behavior. But I do believe that the Good Lord appointed us to care for the animals he placed on this earth, something Mr. Vick does not understand. Sending Michael Vick a message publicly would go a long way in teaching him this.
