Yes - he will always be associated with dog fighting, no matter the verdict.
But, you don't have to worry about him being found innocent.

Yes, to an extent.
I have a simple example: Kobe Bryant.
This guy was amazing but after what he did, fans didnt take him as seriously anymore. He may be great but ppl now associate him with being a ball hog than a shooting machine.
Just like that, Mike Vick will be looked upon negatively(regardless). He WILL implode the Atl Falcons this year. Another reason is the whole idea of being an ICON. A lot of kids and teens (including myself) look to sports heroes for not only a good game but a clean one. These people inspire others and its a shame that it has to go down this way. No one will ask vick for a contract(nike, reebok, etc.) and I'm sure not many ppl will buy his jersey. Look at Kobe, how many ppl do you see wearin his? Anyways, his rep is dead regardless and its too bad too because I really looked up to such a great runner and Im sure lots of others did too.

Many people have started to hate Michael Vick now. I saw on the news that Reebok has stopped making Michael Vick jerseys. Prtests against Michael Vick have been shown on TV.

You need to reword that question. If Michael Vick is found innocent. The media coverage is what ruins somebodies image, long before something ever goes to trial. and in this case if found innocent the govt. should be given credit for an assist in it. If there was no media nobody would even be questioning anything.

Michael Vick ruined his image playing quarterback. ALL he does is run. Not polished at all after all these years. Not good for winning superbowls. Not good for winning peroid. He's another Randle cunningham. DA END

his image is much worse then Kobes a few years ago, only problem is MV isnt in the same class of atheltic as Kobe... his people already admitted that he fiananced the dog fights, bought the dogs, so what does that tell u, can u say Michael Vick all star for arena or canadian football

yep and its kinda a sad example of how our media will ruin people before we even look at the evidence. With that said I don't feel sorry for M. Vick.

Yes he will always be known as the football player that loves to see poor helpless dogs fight. I saw those video of the dog fights on CNN and its really sad.

Yes. These horrible acts took place at his home with his dogs so for me he will always be responsbile to some degree no matter what the courts decide.
