Dick's Says No to Vick

Dick's Sporting Goods has refused to carry Vick jerseys! I just got off the phone with them and the operator told me that they are overwhelmed with nasty emails and phone calls disagreeing with their decision...she asked that we go to the Dick's website and voice our opinion. They are keeping a tally on the comments and if the majority wants his jerseys in Dick's stores, they will retract their decision.

Please take a few seconds now to visit their web site and voice your support for their decision to Nix Vick!

  5. It is sad to say that there are people with no heart. If they can do this to the animals that depend on them and look to them for the food and water they give them, because we know he has NO LOVE for them. Well all I can say is WHY would anyone wear or buy a shirt that bares the name of VICK? Don,t you think it,s time to understand these poor dogs and cats? I have owned and loved pitbulls for years now and have not had one bad dog. If anything they have neen a friend and great help in saving my X-husbands life. When he had his stroke the pit was the one who let the kids know something was wrong. Mr. Vick needs to learn that these dogs were not put here for him to abuse. If he can abuse them what other walk of life can he abuse? As far as I can see amybe someone needs to educate these types of people to the fact these animals have feelings just like humans. Or maybe Mr. Vick should not be around humans either! It is a sad day when people in these times as hard as they are right now that someone who has talent and the know how to help those is using it to distroy livig things. So to those who reject putting his shirts in their stores or reject wearing them you should be very proud of who you are. You my friends are the bigger people in knowing the difference between love and hate, or right from wrong.
