Dear NIKE, Powerade, Rawlings, Falcons, (any others?) company,
I am sure by now you have heard that Michael Vick was accused of having 66 dogs, also seven dead, in his back yard, as a result of dog fighting. This as you may already know is illegal in the United States. It is hard to belive such a determened NFL player has been breaking the federal law since at least 2001 without being caught.
We belive that this is a very irrisponible act for any human to take advantage of, as it is very sickening to even think about. There are surely many other NFL players that you can sponser. As you are all sponsering him, we think this would make you a supporter of Mr. Vick and his actions...
We the undersigned agree to refuse the purchasing of your products and will continue to do so until to can take your sponsership elsewhere. I am sure dog fighting is a sickening subject for you and the rest of your company, therefore we ask, why do you sponser this behavior? We hope you will take this gravely into consideration.
Signed,
(Kelly H. )
To Whom It May Concern:
I along with many others am contacting you regarding your business relationship with Michael Vick. Although I believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty, however due to the nature of the charges against Mr.Vick and in light of the cruel and horrific circumstance surrounding these charges, I would implore you to reconsider your relationship with him. I do not believe that his is the imagine that you want associated with your companies and products. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I'm sure I read Vick was seen at some of these fights as well as seen exchanging money. Yes it's suppose to be innocent until proven guilty, inless your not famous or rich, in which case you must prove your innocent. Can Vick do that? I certainly won't buy anything with his name even closely attached to it!
