They cut Vick loose only AFTER he agreed to a plea bargain. And the woman was not doing anything illegal by Nevada standards. Which is where it was happening.Nike terminated their contract with Michael Vick for illegal activity and then signed him 4-5 years later.Personally, from a social standpoint, I prefer Adidas over Nike. Nike stood behind Tiger Woods and Michael Vick during their issues. But then they fired a female distance runner when they found out she was living a double life as a Vegas prostitute. I wouldn't say that Woods and Vick should have been fired but their arrogance and double standard to the public about what is acceptable behavior of their spokespeople is disappointing. I am glad the Huskers have Adidas.
Nike spokesman Derek Kent."We do not condone those actions, but we support the positive changes he has made to better himself off the field."
That distance runner was engaged in illegal activity and go the same treatment. Tiger wasn't doing anything illegal, and you can't really expect them to cut Tiger Woods loose.
Nonetheless, Nike is a sleazy organization in my opinion and I am happy Nebraska is not associated with it.
