Is Michael Vick Marketable?
Posted in: UncategorizedWhen a high-profile athlete is signed in a new city, the debate is usually about the level of the athletic impact on the team. In this case, most of the verbal fire — with good reason — is around the fact that Michael Vick abused animals. Web sites to rally people against the recently-released-from-jail QB, such as www.sackvick.net and www.petsitusa.com/blog/, are certainly getting increased visibility now. And several polls taken by local Philadelphia news organizations revealed that most of the people in the Philly area are opposed to the Vick signing, while Eagles fans, specifically, are split right down the middle. So it begs the question: can Michael Vick ever be a spokesperson again, or is he forever toxic?
