Online Petition Demands Michael Vick Not Be Allowed In Pro Bowl

One Animals Rights Activist, Dennis Tabella, is now urging people to contact the Pro Bowl’s sponsor, Verizon, in order to get Vick replaced.

Tabella shared this statement on social media:

Do not allow Michael Vick to be honored as one of the four captains at the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl. Call Verizon: CEO Hans Vestberg at 1-212-395-1000 about the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl Presented by Verizon.

Verizon Wireless provides service to 118.7 million subscribers. Do those 118.7 subscribers want Verizon to sponsor an event that honors a convicted felon and known animal abuser, Michael Vick? Verizon is risking the loss of many of the 118.7 million subscribers by sponsoring and endorsing this outrage.

Ask the CEO of Verizon to demand that the NFL replaces Michel Vick with a much more deserving player.

Neither Verizon or the NFL would respond to request for comment.
