Nike re-signed Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick to an endorsement deal Friday, nearly four years after dropping him amid his legal troubles.

He never should've been allowed back into the NFL.

I'm only surprised Nike too so long to bring him on board.

What a joke.

too=took

[freekitty]

Why?

[BBell]

Nike re-signs Vick. This is why I fully expect Obama to be reelected. As a society we have become shallow and our memories short.

lol- predicable

No more Nike products in my house. If you don’t think Vick would still be torturing bulldogs if he hadn’t got caught, I have a bridge I can sell ya....

[org.whodat]

Did you down load the picture of any children where a pit-bull had ripped their head open???? He could kill the entire breed and I would give him a medal.

[Lil Flower]

That’s because you’re an idiot.

[org.whodat]

Another one that loves seeing all the people killed by this worthless POS breed of animal.

“As a society we have become shallow and our memories short.”

Very well put.

A great share of the American population is more interested in who’s gonna win “American Idol” or clambering (sp?) over the newest iPhone release than in what their elected officials are doing.

I work with a sport that Nike supplies; I have to wear the goods.

I have to find a way to protest this.

[MplsSteve]

Nike alone should be punsished for the spectacularly ugly uniform designs they come up with for the University of Oregon.

Outrageous. These go back to the store first thing Tuesday. And this time I mean it.

I bet someone is going to feel like it’s ironic. I just got done on a thread saying that animals do have a right if a local or state government feels fits to prevent a owner of a animal like a dog from inflicting pain on it. However, what’s interesting is that a guy who severed actual prision time who to everyone’s most upmost obsevations has been repentent regarding his past transgressions, continues to be villified regarding that. So he’s not allowed to make money anymore because of a past sin? Do we really know if he’s tuely repentant? Of course not... however, it’s reasonable to concluded that Vick regardless of what he’s done is allowed the chance to prove he’s a better person.

"Stay (blood)thirsty, my friends."

There is the view that exists today that because one has 'done his time', we are suppose to forget what he has done the moment he leaves prison.

All it means is that he is a free man.

Nike is simply shoving it in our face, like we HAVE to forget what he did.

A criminal needs to show he has changed over time, not just when there is a financial incentive to do so.

I boycotted Nike decades ago :p

Did you down load the picture of any children where a pit-bull had ripped their head open???? He could kill the entire breed and I would give him a medal. I can't believe I had to scroll down to post 27 until there was a post that didn't sound like it came directly from PETA. Did Vick break the law? yeah, but these were fighting dogs, vicious dogs bred to fight, we're not talking golden retriever puppies here. PETA has people brainwashed so much that even folks here on FR can't tell the difference. I was hearing Sarah McLachlen music until I got to this post.

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

You’re free to defend Vick, see that dogs are tortured and killed and buy all the Nikes you can stuff in your house. You can do all that with my blessing. What would be really nice is if you could refrain from calling other FReepers idiots and posting over the top accusations.
