Everything is taken away

• After Michael pleaded guilty he lost his contract with Nike.

• Nike stop selling Vicks shoes that day after the case.

• Lost over 5million dollars for his shoes

ALSO

• Michael Vick is questionable for coming back to play professional football

• And Reebok stop selling his jersey

Conclusion

• Don’t loose your character to be money hungry. We need more leaders than followers, because followers ends up being hated by the world for hurting others.
