Nike claims no contract with Vick

PrintTry and figure this corporate-speak out.
Nike said yesterday it does not have a "contractual relationship" with Michael Vick, a day after the quarterback's agent announced a deal with the manufacturer.
In a statement, Nike said it has "agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike."
So Nike will give Vick products and he will represent the company by wearing them, but apparently there is no written "contract" between the two?
Save it Nike. You either have a relationship or you don't and in this case you do. Whether you characterize it as a contractual relationship or not doesn't really mean anything to the general public.

They just want that publicity associated with Mike, only to act like they don’t know whats going on. No wear Mike is wearing Nike FOR FREE. He is getting paid for it, so he has a contract. But he is not getting any endorsement, and wont be making any commercials.
Nike knows that those 18-35 year old men from the intercity are “rocking” Nike gear, especially those Vick Jerseys. Like GCobb wrote yesterday, it make you look like your tough. It represents a rebelious attitude, which is unfortunately fostered by many who live in the innercity or in the “hood”.
Basically, Nike sold out on Vick. They associated themselves to let all those urban demographic Vick follows know what to buy. Only to deny it, just to keep those protesters from holding them hostage and offer to cause boycotts and or go after Nike partners.
Hey, Nike, keep doing what your doing. That being, talking out of both sides of your mouth. I aint mad at you!
Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!

Nike is afraid
Nike doesn’t want anyone to think they have a contract with the lawbreaking Vick so the go all lawyer and now the NFL is going as comercial as Christmas.
You can't soar with the Eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys.
