Its all going horribly wrong for Atlanta Falcons Quarter Back Michael Vick.
As a result of the NFL star being charged with dog fighting, Nike and Reebok have suspending their business operations surrounding Vick.
Nike have reportedly suspended Michael Vick’s contract, whilst Reebok have stopped selling his number 7 NFL Jersey.
Nike have also stopped selling Vick shoes and sneakers as well as other products after protests from animal rights groups.
“Nike is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made against Michael Vick, and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent,” Nike spokesman Dean Stoyer said in a statement.
I am sick of everyone having a go at Michael Vick, the guy has yet to be found guilty so at the moment he is as innocent as you and me.
I think everyone should just lay off him and give Michael Vick a break, he has enough on his mind.
What do you think?

I am a Virginia Tech Hokie and have been a Vick fan for years. It hurts to have to say it, but there is just no way Mike is innocent of these charges. He owns the property, signed for the breeders liscense, had the structures there built. He clearly knew why they had dozens of dogs there. I think treating him the way he has treated dogs would be justice. If we can’t do that, then take away his freedom, his money, and his opportunity to play football. He has had all the chances in the world to become somebody and instead he has become a despicable speciman of a person.
Awesome and hilarious take on this story here: http://averagebro.blogspot.com/2007/07/sorry-mike-vick-your-boy-is-about-to.html
He is innocent until proven guilty.
I cant believe someone would take a risk such as Dog Fighting. He had everything in the world and he flushed it all down the toilet. Idiot.
The evidence is SO clear in this case, and he is absolutely guilty. I agree with “Raw Cool” that he is an idiot to risk it all on a cheap (or rather, expensive) thrill and such an incredibly cruel practice. The guy should be thrown in jail for a few years, and return to a normal life doing construction work or something, but NOT being in the public eye. He just isn’t worthy.
Oh and to add on.
The game is cool. Yes, cool. That’s how I want to put it.
