Philadelphia Eagles QB, Michael Vick has been on a promotional tour for his new autobiography, Michael Vick: Finally Free. However, it is unfortunate the backlash from his well-documented past has led to to violent threats directed towards himself as well as the businesses that would be hosting his book signings.
Vick and his management were forced to cancel multiple signings because of the threats, but have since stated that they will “stay positive” and the book tour will continue as planned.
“Michael Vick: Finally Free”, chronicles his life and the events surrounding his incarceration on dogfighting charges.
A recent signing was at Victory for the World Church in Stone Mountain; the event was initially scheduled at an Atlanta bookstore.
Despite all the threats, Vick is focused ~ “That’s a very small selective group of people who still have their own form of hatred,” Vick said, during a brief press conference . “But you know, I think the most important thing for me to do is to continue to stay positive and continue to do the right thing because that’s what’s going to make a difference…You gotta move forward.”
When the 2013 NFL season kicks off, Vick will be in his fifth season with the Philadelphia Eagles; after plenty of speculation, new Eagles head coach Chip Kelly decided to bring Vick back for one more season to lead his young and explosive offense.
Kudos Vick, keep moving forward!
