Endorsement run from Vick
 

Last week, Nike suspended a lucrative contract with Vick, and Reebok stopped sales of his No. 7 jersey. Upper Deck removed all Vick autographed memorabilia from its online store and said it was removing Vick trading cards from NFL sets to be released in October.

"Rawlings is disappointed about the charges brought against Mr. Vick for his alleged participation in a dogfighting operation," the company said. "Dogfighting is illegal and entirely unacceptable to Rawlings."

A play everybody'd like to see:

Good photoshop work!

I could care less about M. Vicks endorsements, hope he rots in jail for 3 years. The biggest tragedy here is that 50 dogs will sit as evidence for 3-4 months and then be destroyed when in the beginning they were probably trainable animals.

I believe his behavior is habitual and if he has done it once he will do it again. If the NFL condones his behavior they may as well be endorsing gang violence in the streets as if they don't support it to some extent already.

Too bad we can't just put people like M. Vick down. It would be a blessing for all of us.

His buddy already copped a plea and dropped a dime on old mikey, he's going down.

Like so many of our "best" athletes today, If it wasn't for pro sports they prolly would have been incarcerated many years ago. No one likes a rich criminal.

As a dog lover, jail time won't be sufficient.

Round up these guys and make them fight to the death. Let us place bets on them.

This is good news. But I would also love to see some other companies follow suit and drop all their thug, former criminal, dirtbags that they have endorsing products for them.

Vin, they will only drop the most egregious.

But then what Pro Athlete would they have to endorse their products, let alone play the game?

It's a shame that some bad apples profit so much despite their lack of moral character.
We have athletes to respect like michael Jordan, Tiger woods, payton Manning, etc.
We don't need pacman or vick or Iverson. Come to think of it, we don't need the raiders (or raider fans) either.

Knock Jordan off that list dude he had more illegitimate kids than he could count.

Didn't know that about Jordan. he can consider himself scratched ;)

John Elway was always my favorite role model/athlete, please don't tell me he has skeletons too....
