Nike Signs Vick???

Yesterday it was reported that Nike had reached a deal with Michael Vick to endorse him. Nike had originally signed Vick as a rookie in 2001, although when he pleaded guilty for dog fighting in 2007 Nike immediately dropped him from the label. Michael Principe the managing director of BEST, the agency that represents Vick came out in a press conference to announce the news. However today Nike announced it has made no such deals with Michael Vick, and that all rumors were false. Nike did say in a statement that, “Nike has agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike."
Contract or not Vick is still getting supplies by Nike in which most fans seem to be ok with.” Why cants Nike just endorse him? Everybody deserves a second chance” said Deshawn Butler of Tennessee. He’s not the only one who feels this way. “I’m so tired of hearing negative things about Michael Vick, why doesn’t America just move on an let the man live his life? I don’t get why Nike or anybody else thinks it’s a bad thing to endorse him” said Zia Manes from Virginia. Most people interviewed all agree Michael Vick deserves a second chance; however a lot are still frustrated by the public not fully embracing Vick. “Michael Vick is a role model to a lot of people, and I think he’s a great role model for people that have made mistakes in life an have been locked up. If he can come out of prison an still succeed in life, and his career other people will ask why cant they?” said Ahmad Broody.
It’s been about a mouth since Michael Vick got reinstated back to the NFL, and he’s been in headline news weekly. Lucky just about all the news has been good. Let’s just see if Nike, other endorsers and the generally public can do Michael Vick some good by giving him a fresh new start.
