Nike Denies Endorsement Contract With Michael Vick
According to EUR Web:
Nike Inc on Thursday denied reports that it renewed its endorsement deal with Michael Vick more than two years after dumping the National Football League quarterback for bankrolling a dog-fighting ring.
On Wednesday, there were reports that Vick’s agent said his client has an endorsement deal with Nike but would not reveal terms of the contract.
But the footwear and apparel company, which terminated its endorsement deal with Vick in 2007, said it was only supplying gear for Vick as it does with many athletes. In such deals, Nike does not pay the athlete.
“Nike does not have a contractual relationship with Michael Vick,” Nike spokesman KeJuan Wilkins said in a statement. “We have agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike.”
Vick, who was sentenced to 23 months in prison, played his first NFL game on Sept. 27 for the Philadelphia Eagles since getting out of jail and being reinstated to the NFL.
