Nike re-signs Michael Vick
Michael Vick, the star National Football League quarterback whose career was interrupted by a dogfighting conviction, has reached an endorsement agreement with athletic equipment maker Nike.
"We have re-signed Michael Vick as a Nike athlete," Megan Saalfeld, a Nike spokeswoman, said in an e-mail to CNN.

Vick, currently on the roster of the Philadelphia Eagles, served 20 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to bankrolling a dogfighting operation. He has since emerged as a spokesman against dogfighting.
"Michael acknowledges his past mistakes," Saalfeld said. "We do not condone those actions, but we support the positive changes he has made to better himself off the field. "

I am very happy for Vick, every body deserve a second chance in life GO VICK
moral of the story... as long as you do not end up with a life in prison sentence you can do anything you want when you make people $$.
I am getting rid of anything with the Nike label. I understand that people make mistakes but there are mistakes and then there are crimes. Criminals should be allowed to have jobs post-prison but that does not mean making them a poster-child for a product. Is the new slogan: Nike – Footwear for Felons?
Nike good luck with Michael, dog killing, torturing, Vick. I will never ever buy anything that has your swoosh on it. You suck as bad as he does.
Marjan MacPhee
get over it, nobody is asking you to buy anything-people make mistakes and I too condone what he did, but let's face it "forgive and forget".
Yep I agree, sending them back all 62 pairs of my Nike's.
@ Jackie
SO LET ME GET HIS RIGHT.....UR GOING TO SEND NIKE BACK ALL 62 PAIR OF SHOES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THEIR??? ROTFLMBO!! YEAH THERE GOES A GREAT IDEA!! NIKE IS REALLY GONNA LEARN THEIR LESSON FROM THAT!!! LOL!!! U IDIOT!!!
So, so happy for Michael Vick. He has paid his debt to society and worked hard to vindicate himself and give back to the community. He has expressed remorse for his actions and he deserves to move on with his life.
Michael Vick, keep God first in your life, and everything else will fall in place. Keeping you in my prayers... now go ahead, and make that money!!!
By the way, we had a police officer here in the San Francisco Bay Area who killed an unarmed Black man and got less time than Michael Vick got for dogs!!!!!!! There's a message in that and I got it!!!
MAKE THAT MONEY, MICHAEL!
Just because he served time does not mean he's a good guy. He's a depraved, cruel, brutal pos and I wouldn't mourn his death.
Nike good luck with Michael, dog killing, torturing, Vick. I will never ever buy anything that has your swoosh on it.
So pure marjan! Use your brain before posting your nonsense.
"WHAT THE ENEMY MEANT FOR EVIL. GOD TURNED IT AROUND FOR THE GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! PPL WE MUST FORGIVE THAT'S HOW YOU WIN...........
I will never buy another Nike product again and I will make sure I spread the word. Vick is sorry he got caught, not
sorry about what he did to those dogs!
So, how do you know his feelings and what he is thinking? I would love to be able to use that trick.
God forgives you Vick and i forgive you too, never mind what these hypocrite people say, they will have their share in the lake of fire.
I'm glad I'm not a judgmental person. Good luck Vick.
Erroneous religions are the number cause for misfortunes... god doesn't exist and did not exist, god is a human creation, it is lower than human beings. Please open your eyes!
I wonder how forgiving everyone would be if a murderer was placed in a halfway house on their block? Would you be so forgiving then? He may not have murdered humans, but statistics show that it is only a matter of time before animal killers move to human victims. Thats how serial killers get started people. Buncha NIMBYS on here! You just give him a pass and make excuses because he plays football and for that you are pathetic
Yeah what was one of the first things he tried to do with his new found freedom? Have his life long ban on owning dogs reversed so he could run out and get another pit bull. Ghetto trash to the end.
everyone on here crying about how evil vick is should go back to hugging a tree with there PETA shirt on. i bet all of you support abortion and dont think twice about someone killing there unborn child. hope you guys prioritize human life over a dogs life and forgive this man.
Look at all the god fearing, good Christian, model citizens screaming for blood on CNN.COM today! Keep going...........
