I had just begun to write a post criticizing Nike for their greed in continuing to launch Michael Vick's new shoe. Then I read this from Darren Rovell: Nike is suspending the release.
"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."Whether or not Michael Vick is found guilty down the road, Nike HAD to make this decision today. Applause.
