Don't they realize the spot they are putting their other athletes in? You really want Tiger being constantly asked if he supports Nike giving money to a dog killer?

If they did sign him, I can't imagine any other athlete deciding they want out of their Nike deal because of it. That would be kinda dumb. Mixing business and personal feelings is not a good idea. Besides, I'd bet the vast majority of other athletes don't even care what Vick did.

We'd all be naive to think he was the only professional athelete involved in dog fighting.

Yeah but he got caught. People who would buy his **** would be endorsing dog fighting IMO. He's a scumbag.

There's a lot of people that are already buying his jersey. I saw something somewhere talking about jersey sales. He's currently doing better than the all-Americans Brady and Manning. I have one and I'm against dog fighting. I'm also not a murderer as scuds believes.

I think "vast" would be limited to the NFL, and the NBA.

I'd agree about the vast majority of NFL/NBA players not caring about what Vick did, but I also don't think they thought what McNair did was wrong.
