"On July 17, 2007, Atlanta Falcons player Michael Vick was indicted in Virginia on charges involving animal fighting. According to the criminal indictment against Vick, dogs were beaten, hung, electrocuted, starved and forced to fight other abused dogs while their owners and others bet thousands of dollars on which dog would either die or give up in agony first. Vick personally carried out some of these killings, which took place as recently as this past April."
Please join me in pledging to boycott Nike until Nike terminates Vick's contract.
Disclosure: I do not, nor does anyone I know, own Nike stock. If the stock drops, I have no intention of buying it. I was a very occasional buyer of Nike products before deciding to boycott.
