SICK VICK..............................boycott NIKE
A friend of mine sent this to me...his comments below the comments of this low -life...are powerful!
Portis said dog fighting is a "prevalent" part of life.
Portis, a native of Laurel, Mississippi, added: "I know a lot of back roads that got a dog fight if you want to go see it. But they're not bothering those people because those people are not big names. I'm sure there's some police got some dogs that are fighting them, some judges got dogs and everything else."
Look for the race card--as in, 'There's a lot of white folks doin' this shit but y'all ain't sayin' nothing about them'--to be played really soon.
One of the interesting things about crimes against humanity in the modern age, is that today, MFs will actually come forward and DEFEND shit like this. The fact that MFs can fix their mouths to say this is "Okay" is what lets you know how low this culture has sunk. You can't simply shame a stupid MF anymore; he/she will rationalize shit and have people actually believe their view. This is why they want to blow America up and make it a lake. What sick fucks we've become.

Nike suspends release of Vick line
New shoe will be delayed because of dogfighting case
Posted: Thursday July 19, 2007 3:33PM; Updated: Thursday July 19, 2007 6:59PM
ATLANTA (AP) -- Michael Vick's legal troubles prompted Nike on Thursday to suspend the release of its latest product line named after the Atlanta Falcons quarterback.
Nike has told retailers it will not release a fifth signature shoe, the Air Zoom Vick V, this summer. Nike spokesman Dean Stoyer said the four shoe products and three shirts that currently bear Vick's name will remain in stores.
Vick will be arraigned next week in a Richmond, Va., federal courtroom on charges of sponsoring a gruesome dogfighting operation.
Meanwhile, Falcons owner Arthur Blank issued a statement Thursday, saying the organization is "working diligently on exploring our options."
"This is an emotionally charged and complicated matter," Blank said. "There are a wide range of interests and legal issues that need to be carefully considered as we move ahead, including our need to respect the due process that Michael is entitled to. Also, this situation affects everyone -- our club, our players and associates, our sponsors, our fans and the Atlanta community among them -- so we must consider all of our customers in making any decisions.
"Given the differing perspectives and strong feelings around this issue, we probably won't make everyone happy, but we are committed to doing the right thing. As the owner of this club that's, ultimately, my responsibility."
Blank added that he was "saddened and distressed about this -- not for myself, for our fans and community who have been so loyal to us."
ESPN reported that Vick had called Blank on Wednesday. The network said its sources believed Vick to have been contrite, and he apologized for the distractions the case has created, and thanked Blank for his support.
Stoyer said Nike still has a standing contract with Vick, but declined to speculate on his future with the company.
A statement released by Nike Inc. said the company "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."
Stoyer, who declined to discuss terms of Vick's contract, indicated the company has no commercials or documentaries planned with the three-time NFL Pro Bowl selection.
In previous years, Nike has run footage and interviews with Vick on its Web site, but none of the video promotions are currently posted.
"Some of that was shown on a limited run based on rights and usage," Stoyer said. "There's nothing new planned."
The Humane Society of the United States issued a statement calling upon Nike to pull its Vick clothing and shoes from retailers and from its web site. It also called upon NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend Vick.
Vick signed his current contract with Nike in 2001, the same year Atlanta chose him as the NFL's No. 1 overall draft pick. After leading the Falcons to the 2002 and '04 playoffs, Vick last year became the first quarterback in league history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.

(from another friend)
Jennifer,
I called Nike, and I sent an email. I just got an email back saying
how they detest animal cruelty, and have suspended Vick's latest
line. To which I just responded:
Dear Nike,
Thank you for getting back to me concerning your Michael Vicks line.
I'm so glad to hear you don't support animal cruelty. Your respect
for the law is admirable, too, as you believe everyone deserves due
process before being found guilty. For that reason you won't cease
business with him.
Are you CRAZY?
Have you seen the photos from inside his house of the 54 dogs, many
of whom have their faces ripped off? Would you like me to send them
to you?
I am making good on my promise to never buy your products again, and
am shipping my Nikes back to you. I don't want them in my house. I
don't like what they say about profit over humanity.
Again, look at the photos before you take the moral high ground of
innocent until found guilty.

(and from Steve again, regarding a statesman who was on the floor of the senate!)
Jennifer,
I'm not sure. A gray-haired fellow, the kind of man who lives for a moment like this, sufficiently bipartisan, when he can invoke God, save an animal and fry a "nigger" all at once.
In my opinion, for whatever coverage we've seen, the media and the public still isn't really "getting" it. The story isn't as prominently featured as some of the other bullshit they cover. There is a reason for this: The victims are animals.
John Lennon wrote a song called, "Woman is the Nigger of the World." Love that title. It's true. But animals are lower than the woman AND the nigger. Go figure.

I went to Zimbabwe. I know how white people feel in America now; relaxed! Cause when I heard the police car I knew they weren't coming after me!
Re: SICK VICK..............................boycott NIKE
bingolong,
a friend of mine got into a disagreement about this, he said it's a "cultural" thing..fuck that!! I was raised in area where they did this shit to, and I hated it, hated it when Iw as a kid, and hate it now. You should have to have a license to own animals.

Your friend is a moron and needs some educating!

They suffer as we do...this is not a culture thing...it is a motherfucking, dumbass, cruel crime! A felony in all but two states...
