Michael Vick is eligible to play football this Sunday when the Eagles meet the Kansas City Chiefs. Mark Maske at The Washington Post delves into the locker room drama. I will be interested to see if any anti-Vick T-shirts make the broadcast.
Hat tip to Andrea Lechner-Becker, PR/Marketing Coordinator for renowned dog artist Ron Burns, for sending me the above graffiti image from Yahoo Sports.
Pop dog artist Ron Burns lends his talent and his name to the Humane Society’s campaign to stop dog fighting. All proceeds from the sale of his t-shirts and other products go towards the HSUS Animal Fighting Campaign. Get a great look for a great cause and order yours today.
Watch Ron Burns discuss looking beyond the Michael Vick outrage to focus on the animals themselves (includes some graphic images):
I’ve avoided posting about the indictment of Michael Vick for operating a gruesome dog-fighting ring. I’m sickened by the story, and what image would I possibly include? Then, I remembered the creative t-shirt designers at CafePress. They have more than a few choice words and images (i.e. lots of T-shirts) to share with this barbaric thug who had the nerve to invoke his poor mother at his hearing today where he pled not guilty. Obscene.
The Anti-Michael Vick No. 7 T-shirt (above) and the Sack Vick one (below) are two of tamest of the the bunch.
My cousin, Ellen Clair “Answer Girl” Lamb, has some choice words to say about Vick at her blog too.

too disturbing to ignore.”
7.27.07 Update: The NFLShop.com has pulled all Michael Vick apparel and merchandise from its stores and website. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy explained, “We have suspended sales of Vick-related merchandise on our official league e-commerce site, NFLShop.com. This includes Vick jerseys and collectible items such as autographed balls and other memorabilia.” McCarthy said the decision was made because it was “not appropriate under the circumstances.” The suspension will take place for the immediate future.
