Oh? Is Nike using them in their ads?

he Philadelphia Eagles signed Vick in 2009 after the quarterback served 21 months in federal prison on dog fighting charges. Vick rewarded the Eagles' faith by making the Pro Bowl after the 2010 season and being named the NFL?s Comeback Player of the Year. The Eagles gave Vick a new six-year, $100 million before the 2011 season. Nike re-signed Vick to its athletes stable in 2011. It is the first time Nike re-signed an athlete after terminating a previous deal on moral clauses. Other Vick sponsors include Unequal Technologies and MusclePharm.


So basically it's a guy who did something in the past, went to prison for it, and stopped doing it versus a guy who is *still* doing his thing? After all, it's not like Nike picked up Vick when he was fighting off his dog ring allegations. Plus, you know, Michael Vick was a much better player.
