Michael Vick's first endorsement "middle finger" is Nike.
Nike holds off on release of new Vick shoe model

Nike suspended the introduction of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's latest shoe two days after a grand jury indicted him for allegedly conspiring to run a dogfighting operation from a home he owned in Virginia.

Nike is concerned about the "highly disturbing allegations" and decided to postpone the release of Vick's shoe, spokesperson Dean Stoyer said yesterday. The shoe model would be Vick's fifth for the Oregon-based company.

"We do believe that Michael Vick should be afforded the same due process as any citizen; therefore we have not terminated our relationship," Stoyer said in a statement. "We have, however, made the decision to suspend the release of the Zoom Vick V and related marketing communications."

1. (MSNBC) Tucker's covering this now
He is truly disgusted, so I'll be watching him, since I usually don't.

Go Nike!

Did you see the Peta protests outside NFL hdqtrs in Atlanta? Huge crowd :)
