Reebok Stiffarms Vick
Unlike the NFL, Reebok has no problem reading a federal indictment and making a decision. Reebok wants nothing to do with Vick. They have suspended all sales of his jersey.
From FoxNews here:
Nike just did it. Now Reebok has followed suit, announcing on Friday the retail giant will no longer sell Michael Vick NFL products at its retail locations nor on its Web site, citing concerns over the dogfighting allegations against the Falcons quarterback.
“While we respect the legal process we find the allegations against Mr. Vick too disturbing to ignore; therefore, we have decided to immediately suspend selling Vick NFL product [sic], both at retail and online through the Reebok Web site,” the company announced in a press release.
Although Reebok does not have an individual endorsement deal with the football player, the company is the official supplier of apparel and equipment to all 32 NFL teams and the league’s 1,800 players.
Maybe Pit Bulls wouldn’t be such vicious dogs if assholes like Vick didn’t breed them to be so vicious. And I have a sneaky feeling that there are other NFL players involved in dog fighting.
