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

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.

You're not playing the "race card" this time? Mortrey obviously doesn't like Vick. Aren't you going to ask if Mortrey shaves (his/her?) head?

I am president of our local humane society and am horrified at what evil is done to this breed. Michael Vick would still be fighting dogs if he hadn’t been caught, he is still Michael Vick.

It goes beyond the dog fighting. Vick and his merry little band of sociopaths were stealing pets and using them to "blood" their dogs. Defenseless small breeds and cats were ripped apart for the sick pleasure of Vick and his perverted friends.

Nike sneakers are the best. As much as I would prefer to wear Reebok’s they hurt my feet.

whaddya think of NewBal?

The only POS around here is you. My disdaine for animal abusers and my love of bulldogs in no way says I don’t care about people. I attribute your comment about the “ worthless POS breed” to be no different than me saying since Vick is a black man, we should do away with ALL black men.

The majority of these “ vicious killers” were adopted.

The only time I would wear Nike is if my job required it. Jobs are right now too hard to find.

There was also another company also that made M. Vick their spokesman. Maybe last year? I forgot its name or what it made, only that the CEO was excited about Vick representing the company.

No one said they would not be allowed to ‘do anything’, but trust is something you have to earn, and Vick lost his when he engaged in that unusually cruel activity for years, so it will likely take many years to regain it.

Even more fundamentally, the venom and hate directed towards Vick is thousands of percent more than that directed toward those that slaughter HUMANS. A fact that says more about the future of this country than anything else

Nailed it!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

Nike seems to disagree and so does much of the public which is why he got the deal.

[HenpeckedCon]

I haven’t tried them. I like the Nike Air Monarch. They are comfortable and not too expensive.

A good friend’s son is a Purdue grad and went to work for NB up in the Boston area. They actually produce some of their higher end shoes in the US - perhaps the only mfgr to do so.

That SOB, that I didn’t know, so he is worse than evil. Thanks for the info.

I will immediately start buying Nike products,,,,,the day after I know all the dogs Vik mutilated have died
