He did his time; more than most people do for third degree murder. Let it go.
You're missing my point.
I'm not arguing the Michael Vick dog fighting controversy, his imprisonment, related morality, or lack thereof, or anything about the back story.
I'm saying that Nike has made a horrendous marketing mistake by aligning their brand and their image with him.
You can argue that he served his time, so it's time we all let it go, but that won't stop millions of Americans from despising this guy forever.
Because of that fact, Nike's made a marketing blunder of monster proportions, which is going to cost them sales.
Again - this is about market positioning, and proper management of a major company's image. Nothing else.
Ok. He held dog’s heads under water until they drowned. Others, he hung them from their necks until they were dead. Others, he picked with his hands and slammed them to the ground until they were dead.
We’ll just let it go.
