How does dogfighting mean no longer allowed to play football? To no longer being allowed to be a veternarian or dogcatcher? Okay valid comparison.

Nobody said he shouldn't be allowed to play football.

You know as well as I do that when a company hires a movie star or athlete (or any celebrity for that matter) to represent it that company does so to attract buyers to its' services or products. Nike hired Vick. Whether he "paid his debt to society" or not isn't relevant to me. What is relevant is whether I want to buy products from a company that apparently doesn't think his behavior was that bad in the first place. If you don't understand that or you disagree, fair enough. But I for one never said he didn't have a right to earn a living. In fact, my complaint isn't with Michael Vick at all. It's with Nike. OK?

Right. It begs the question...There are so many great upstanding NFL stars that are faith and family oriented that never get a call from a high profile sports company. Why is a company like Nike attracted to (people) like this?
