Michael Vick's federal indictment for dogfighting has unleashed a strong backlash from the animal rights community.

Nike, Vick's biggest sponsor, quickly announced suspension of production on Vick's namesame shoe, but that response was not strong enough for some.

An animal rights group organized a Friday protest at Nike's Beaverton campus, calling on the Swoosh to cut all ties to Vick.

Meanwhile, protesters gathered in New York to pressure the NFL to sack Vick.

America is still the land of innocent until proven guilty, but the NFL already suspended "Pacman" Jones for a season without a criminal conviction.

Vick may soon find that in pro sports, where image = dollars, the verdict in the court of public opinion may matter more to the corporate giants who depend on public favor to sell their products.
