NIKE is getting a lot of e-mail I think, including one from myself, and I know there are petitions being organized. About $7 billion of NIKE's anticipated $17.6 billion in global revenue in 2008 will come from America. Big mistake on their part not to cut and run right away. They're underestimating the response to this.
NIKE's response to myself is below:
Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at Nike Canada.
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.
