His level of toxicity is rising.

“Nike is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made against Michael Vick and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent. We do believe that Michael Vick should be afforded the same due process as any citizen; therefore, we have not terminated our relationship. We have however made the decision to suspend the release of the Zoom Vick V and related marketing communications. Nike will continue to monitor the situation closely and have no further comment at this time.”

    Well their(NIKE) response to an add that showed a rottwieller and a pitbull fighting was(and I am paraphrasing) “The add has run its course… Our company likes to promote strength in our commercials and frowns on weakness”. Hypocrites. Maybe more disgusting is teams and sponsors will flock back if they can make a buck of his back.

    You guys should checkout the shoes that came out from Nike with Ipod applications. Nike and Apple coming together is a perfect combination and if this can motivate a healthier lifestyle than more power to them.
