Endorsement fallout continues for Vick

There is another endorsement defection involving Michael Vick. 'Upper Deck' has taken all Vick-autographed memorabilia off its online store. Additionally, the Vick trading card will be taken out of NFL sets that are to be released in October. The indicted Falcons quarterback is facing federal dogfighting charges, with a trial set to start in late November.

On Sunday, about a hundred protestors gathered outside the Georgia Dome in support of Vick. They called on the public to withhold judgement, and criticized the media for convicting Vick before his trial.

This morning the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference are holding a news conference to talk about the Vick case and its racial implications.
