Nike has no plans to dump Michael Vick from its roaster, turning down request from the National Humane Society.  Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society wrote “We trust that Nike does not want to be associated with any celebrity who is linked to animal cruelty.” Nike spokesman Dean Stoyer said the company plans to honor its deal with Vick and he is rightfully presumed innocent and afforded the same due process as any citizen.  The Humane Society already called on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to punish Vick if criminal charges are filed against the quarterback.  Goodell met with Vick during the NFL draft and league investigators are looking into the case to determine whether disciplinary actions is warranted.  AirTran Airways has already ended its relationship with Vick.
