That was a real coup by Michael Vick ;) I'd say that the boycott is working just fine. :) lol yeah, turns out his agent was just full of crap apparently, or Nike signed, didn’t like the reaction and pulled the plug on the deal in less than 12 hours.

The form message they are sending says "Thank you for your email. Nike does not have a contractual relationship with Michael Vick. We have agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike. Thank you again for your feedback." As I replied in a subsequent email, "As you well know after losing more than a million dollars when he was convicted and you scrapped his training shoe, Mr. Vick is not 'like other athletes'. "I find it incredible that Michael Principe would announce 'He has a new deal with Nike that we're all very pleased with' if indeed all you are doing is giving him some gear." Meanwhile, a fan who wore a shirt saying "Losers Fight Pitbulls" on the front and "You Don't Desrve a Second Chance" was not allowed into the stadium until she turned the shirt inside out. The founders of our nation who met in Philadelphia and gave us freedom of speech must be rolling over in their graves over that one I wonder if this is a trial balloon to see what kind of response the company gets from re-activating its relationship with Vick.

Nike had about 30,000 pairs of Michael Vick training shoes in storage which were to be launched in 2007 which I suppose overrides their statement that "cruelty to animals is unhumane and abhorrent" which they made when they dropped Vick in July of that year. I wonder what the text for his Nike ads will consist of...."shoes so fast you can get away from the police" or "shoes that clean up nicely after a day of bloodshed" Nike once used the song "Instant Karma" in its ads, and they should make it their company theme song because sooner or later, this decision will come back to bite them I would expect nothing less from a company which has been found to use child and forced labor in Third World Countries.
