Although Nike today announced that it will suspend the release of the Air Zoom Vick V, the Humane Society of the United States says that Nike has not gone far enough, and that the company needs to pull from stores other products bearing the name of Michael Vick.

Nike has not gone far enough. ... Nike continued to market a $16 "Vick Hero" tee-shirt to boys in sizes 0 to 18. A similar product is aimed at older youth....

Why continue to try and wring a profit from shirts that label Vick a hero for boys? Why sell other shoes named for him?

Michael Vick is no hero.

Nike should explain why it would sell a "Vick Hero" shirt. What has Vick done that deserves to be described as heroic?
