Rawlings ends relationship with Vick

ATLANTA (AP) - Michael Vick lost another sponsor - Rawlings.

The sports goods company said Tuesday it was ending its relationship with the Atlanta Flacons quarterback because of dogfighting conspiracy charges.
"Rawlings recognizes that Mr. Vick has not been convicted of the charges stemming from his recent indictment," the St. Louis company said. "However, we have determined that ending our relationship with Mr. Vick at this time is necessary."

Rawlings used Vick's image in promotional displays in stores, and its decision is the latest commercial setback for the NFL star.

Last week, Nike suspended a lucrative contract with Vick, and Reebok stopped sales of his No. 7 jersey. Upper Deck removed all Vick autographed memorabilia from its online store and said it was removing Vick trading cards from NFL sets to be released in October.

"Rawlings is disappointed about the charges brought against Mr. Vick for his alleged participation in a dogfighting operation," the company said. "Dogfighting is illegal and entirely unacceptable to Rawlings."

:laugh2:

I hear he's financing the sequel to Broke Back Mountain. To be called: Bubba just broke my back. The story of two ex-nflers doing time.

Wow, I didn't think theyd' go quite this far. I mean I get him losing any spokesperson role, but to be starting to lose his placement in football cards and jerseys is truly setting a precedent. He's virtually being erased from the game. I think they want him to lower his head in shame and just walk away. And I'm betting him walking away is probably what will eventually happen.

Or him not walking away.. It's going to take a truly guttsy owner to take a risk on him. All cross your hands, bow your heads and begin praying that Romo truly is our salvation. I'm serious. Jerry's talefeather has already plucked, I guarantee you. Vick>>>Owens, Jerry is already having wet dreams.

The only other owner with balls that big is Al Davis. 1 of 2 teams he will be going to, that's how I see it.

He's basically being deleted. All traces removed. He has no one else to blame.
