Nike Dumping Vick

[Use Your Illusion]

As much flak as Vick is catching for being a disruption off the field, it shouldn't corrupt his on-the-field actions. Nike and Reebok pay him for his professional actions, not his social actions.

If we all got in trouble for what we did outside the workplace, the majority of us would be in AA meetings or in jail for illegal activities. Hell, the majority of us would be suspended for taking NyQuil or DayQuil for the amount of alcohol it has.

Bottom line is that Goodell has taken this way too far. It's a good thing that he wants to straighten out his bad apples but making his players vulnerable to things like this... isn't good for him as a commisioner.

Nike and Reebok are wrong to pull his endorsements like this. It's not like he's a terrible athelete for staging dogfights.

You are so off the mark it's ridiculous. Vick is paid to represent Nike. Not just on the football field, but everywhere he goes. His name is on their merchandise and as such, he has to uphold a certain level of respectability.

Class...class..settle down class.....class?....class?...CLASS!!!!!

Okay that's better....Now, jack, please go on with your report....

Aaaaahemmmm....My report is titled 'Why is ignorance bliss?'

Ignorance is bliss because if you don't know something, it can't hurt you. As children, people are themselves and get along much better. The more we age, the farther we lose who we are and begin to restrain ourselves for fear of others. As we grow older, we become increasingly aware of pain and suffering, and the more we know about everything wrong in the world, the more we lose our innocence and become less 'blissful'. I read once that when we lose the innocence of childhood, we become compassionate. That's the start of adulthood. We lose our ignorance and bliss with innocence, but we gain knowledge, compassion, and understanding.

Thank you jack...very good....I'll see you after class hon.

This thread looks like it should have been moved to the NFL Zone with the rest of them.
