How does Vick win folks back? He can start by Tweeting
The Wall Street Journal ran a story last week on “The Reinvention of Michael Vick,” and the article hit the same familiar points: Might need to re-start as a Wildcat quarterback; must take less money up front to prove himself; could be better off trying the United Football League first.
At this point, I’m as much intrigued by the reinvention of Michael Vick the person. What’s his strategy — I’m assuming he has one — to win back the public he lost when he pleaded guilty? What does he need to do to sway hearts and minds? So I asked a public relations professional.
Gail Sideman has her own firm in Milwaukee — it’s Publiside; catchy name, huh? — and she’s familiar with athletics (she worked as an intern under Claude Felton in Georgia’s sports information office) and Atlanta (she was the Metro Conference’s publicist when the Metro Conference existed and was based here) and electronic media (she works in TV). She’s also a leading exponent of social media, meaning Facebook and Twitter.
I asked her to sketch out a few top-of-the-head bullet points, and she did way more than that. Here, without further ado, is Ms. Sideman’s Quick Fix for Vick:
1. Michael Vick has to talk. He has done time in prison, but has not demonstrated remorse or apologized for his actions. He must talk to his public/fans.
2. He must show he’s human — social media would be a good start for that (really). He could put out some personal thoughts and communicate with fans/potential marketing partners. Right now few want anything to do with him because he’s a felon who instigated the killing of animals. If he wants to show he’s a good guy, he’s got to communicate that sincerely and consistently. His Tweets — or other comments via social media — should include his passion for football, desire to make an honest living and tidbits about his family interactions.
3. AFTER he’s reestablished a connection with football fans and communities and only after he’s garnered some trust should he do any PSAs (public service announcements) for the Humane Society or ASPCA. He must admit to his insensitive, cruel crime and connect with people, many of whom are pet lovers. THEN he can speak about being kind– and SHOW his kindness — to animals. Otherwise, these PSAs look phony and part of canned speak.
4. I’m sure Tony Dungy has spoken at length about this, but Vick has to leave the friends of his youth behind to show he’s moved onto a more trustworthy support system. He needs to surround himself, socialize and work with people with clean images. Guilt by association will continue to rule his life and being with innocent people will go a long way toward restoring his image — maybe even improve what it once was.
Loading ...Me, I’d say this makes great good sense. There’s nothing outlandish involved, just basic PR. And lo and behold, the AJC’s Megan Matteucci is reporting Vick will be coming here this weekend for, of all things, a Humane Society event.
And the social media aspect, I must say, is most intriguing. Imagine Michael Vick on Twitter. Think he’d draw a few followers? A few hundred thousand? More even than Shaq and Ashton Kutcher combined?
(Oh, and if you’d like to follow Ms. Sideman on Twitter — you’ll learn things, I promise — she’s @Publiside.)

I’m not going to lie, I’d follow Mike Vick if he opened a Twitter account.
Regardless, I hope we do see a Vick Redemption Tour at some point in his career. I feel for any man who rose to the heights he did and fell as far as he did. Not saying what he did was right or even justifiable, but the man did his time and deserves an opportunity like anyone else would get if they’d done the same.

You wonder if people today even know what they are doing wrong. I get the feeling Vick is doing everything politically correct but like a new offense is having to have handlers tell him what to do, it is not coming naturally. Somebody gives him a list of “to dos” like some control freak. The idea is to not have to have a list, your natural self knows what to do and if it does not he has not changed and he is just another con artist encouraged by a PR firm.

Mark come, come, come now. Do you really think Roger Goddell and the powers that be in the NFL are going to allow Mike Vick to have a real heart-2-heart sit down with a “real” journalist? Not going to happen — I have read about the nanny state Goddell has imposed on Vick and this idea he is going to be free do the types of things mentioned by this PR person is simply pie in the sky..
And I am convinced this cocoon he has wrapped Vick in is more to protect the league (controlling where the man lives, who he talks to, weekly wrap sessions with the commissioner, peeking into the man’s finances, and on and on it goes) than it is to transition Vick back into the league. And that is why the community celebration was postponed and will eventually be cancelled and other interviews Vick has scheduled in the past were cancelled.
As I have always stated PETA, the Humane Society and some of the NFL’s own players have always stated that Vick was not the only one participating in dogfighting in the NFL. On their website even now, PETA is calling for Goddell to require all NFL players take their silly animal sensitivity course and that animal cruelty be added as part of the NFL personnel policy. If this was an isolated incident with one player as Goddell would like for us to believe why is PETA still hassling the NFL and not the NBA and MLB.
Be patient and you will see Michael Vick doing carefully controlled interviews, statements, and public appearances in an effort to rehabilitate his image. It’s not like the NFL does not have experience with this kind of thing — look at the miracle image change they did with Ray “The Butcherer” Lewis.

I hope something good comes from this. Even after his heinous acts, Mr. Vick has a chance to earn more money in a few years than most people do in their lifetimes.
He has a chance to talk to youngsters who may be tempted to live the “gangsta” lifestyle and explain how it is wrong.
He has a chance to help dogs and demonstrate to the world they are intelligent feeling creatures who deserve respect and happiness.
Dogs serve blind humans, in the army, firefighters, the deaf, assist prisoners, provide love and companionship to families and more. Dogs give and give, and we should give back to them.
Finally, with the astonishing cruelty and stupidity of Michael Vick, he still has a chance to live a better lifestyle than most people ever have, past, present and future.
All because he runs fast with a ball. Okay then, do something unselfish, and soon.

I agree Bradley that Michael needs TO TALK, just seeing images on him walking around and not smiling at all are not helping him. He needs to get a public speaking coach ASAP. I know public speaking is a huge fear of some people but the best thing Michael needs is to show some emotion when he addresses the public.

Bradley, are you serious? Vick to start tweeting! The way Vick used to play on the football field you would have thought he already was treeting since you had the feeling the guy could fly through air like superman. Vick probably doesnt know how to turn on a computer much less tweet. Vick should have done a whole bunch of tweeting since hes been a jail bird for the past couple of years. Vick should have been using Twitter as he was sitting on the $hitter all those months. Ok. Vick; prepare to lift off and fly.

THAT IS THE HIPOCRACY THAT PEOPLE CAN’T SEE IN THEM SELVES. IF I PUT THE LIGHT ON SOME OF THESE PEOPLE THEY’LL HAVE DONE THINGS THAT MAKE DOG FIGHTING SEEM MINOR IN COMPARRISON YET THEY STEADYLY POINT THE FINGER OR SHOULD I SAY CAST STONES. IF MICHAEL VICK IS SMART HE TURN IT ALL OVER TO GOD CAUSE HE’S HE ONLY FOR GIVENESS THAT’S COUNT. AND REMEMBER PEOPLE DON’T HAVE A HEAVEN OR A HELL TO PUT HIM IN. AND JESUS SAYS IF YOU CAN’T FORGIVE A PERSON TRESPASSES THEN GOD CAN’T FOR GIVE YOURS. ON THE BACK OF US CURRENCY IT STATES IN GOD WE TRUST I AINT SEEM EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT BUT I’M LOOKING.

Anthony, I know your really angry at some of us for the BLOGS we have written. But in truth, Vick has brought this onslaught of hatred on himself. Lets rewind a couple of years before Vick got caught when Jim Mora was still coaching here. Vick and the Falcons got their lunch handed to them on a silver platter one afternoon playing New Orleans and the Falcons got crushed. At the height of Vicks fame and fortune, vick had already signed a $200+ million dollars contract making Vick the HIGHESt paid player in the game; as Vick was walking off the field Vick flipped the bird as he was being heckled for turning in a poor performance; he gave his adoring fans who had shelled out a lot of money to watch this hideous performance, Vick gave his fans the middle finger with both hands raising his hands to the sky as if to say “Don’t you know who I am; I am the highest paid player in the game. I can play anyway I want to because I have a vault full of cash waiting for me at home. He gives the fans the middles fingers with both hands to say “f u and leave me alone; I can do as I please, I am micahel vick; have you seen my Nike commercials, get lost. What is Vick saying NOW as he is down in his knees, begging someone to let him sign for them, and they are ALL slamming the door shut in his face.

An effective speaker ? Are you serious ? The radio station we used to listen to at work used to always play that Airtran commercial all the time . Have you ever heard that ? It sounded like incoherent garble . I was embarrassed for him . Of course the embarrassment went away when I heard about the things he did to puppies that couldn’t fight . He’s done his time & M. Vick deserves to earn a living IMO but how can you say he is an effective speaker ? I’m sorry if I come across as mean , but he is just not bright enough to be a decent speaker .

You and your Redneck Bubba base newspaper subvert the reality that Mike has more fans than you or the AJC. Mike can sell out a stadium overnight-Still, no matter how many gag orders or how much negative racist press you product.
I see that Bong wielding, pot smoking swimmer Phelps is still promoting and being promoted by the AJC…Where’s the Mothers against Drugs here? What happen to D.A.R.E. (not to be confused with dumb as reporting everyday).What about that steroid shooting glamour boy for the Yankees? The AJC is promoting the Ramirez Bobble heads…Didn’t he just get found guilty of lying under oath and tested dirty for steroid use?
You, Mark mo dumb Bradley, the redneck ajc and this sites bubba crew is in denial about your collective racist way of thinking.
Good luck to Michael Vick and his work to reach maturity and find his place in life. Good luck with his work with the humane society. Good luck in his chosen profession. Football.

Falcons Minority Owner: you have it all wrong. I’m not bitter about anything. Truthfully, I feel bad for guys like Vick and Plexico Burriss because all they do is screw up their lives. If you want to blame anyone for the madness on this BLOG, blame Mark Bradley. He opened it up and put the topic out there and everyone knows how dumb Vick is, so everyone has been feasting off this article. But getting back to tweeting and Vick, if Vick wants to learn about tweeting all he has to do is listen to one of the late Michael Jackson sings Jackson did as a member of the Jackson 5 years ago called Rockin Robin. Jackson sings it in the lyrics “tweedley deedly de” and goes on to elaborate on tweeting; but unfortunately for Vick, Vick would still have trouble understanding it because Vick is functionally illiterate. Had Vick only been a bird, it would be effortless for Vick to tweet. Like the cartoon character tweety bird, vick would have been tweeting the day he launched his attack on the fans at the Georgia Dome by flipping the bird to them, acknowledging his support to them for filling the stands. But Vick will never do that again as he will never ever play football again in the NFL. There are currently NO takers in the Michael Vick Sweepstakes and there won’t be any.

I bet you just KNEW there was no way he would actually meet with the commish 2 days after the ankle bracelet came off! You were probably listening to the same media who was busying saying “Vick WILL meet with the commish”, when it had already happened! And now you think Vick wont play again in the NFL?? LMAO!! Yeah, ok…because his agent (who curiously never dropped this client, hmmm) is just charitable like that! Oh yeah, those lawyers are really working for free! (wink wink).

As a man of Christ it saddens me to see peoples rage and choice of vicious words toward a individual that paid his time for his crimes; A crime that didn’t involve drugs,guns,and putting anyones life in danger.Some say that they give the dogs a voice,thats good,but when someone is sorry and is, put away for 2 years of their life,you don’t treat them nasty.I mean he can’t change what he did and for people to keep insulting him are just as vicious as Vick was. Jesus would not want us to act in the manner some are doing towards a fellow brother (yes he is all our brother ).

You did not get very far in school. I’m sorry your life has turned out the way it has. Your writing is illogical. Hate comes from the hater, not the person who has made a mistake. Nobody brings hate on themselves. Hate is a reaction of choice.
You never get better if you justify you evil. Justifying is a way to remain in denial about your hatred and your racism.
Angry white racist choose to react with fervor and hatred. Nobody makes them choose that attitude or spirit. Michael Vick did not bring hatred on himself, idiot. Hatred is how Angry white racist have chosen to react to Vick. Hate is in you and you vent it to those you dislike. Most minorities admire and appreciate Vick. If you take the angry white racist out of the equation, Mike can sell out any stadium. Number 7 falcon jersey has sold out of most stores since his release.
I’m sorry you live this way. I’m sorry you are uneducated. I hope you learn and live better. But right now you are an idiot!

Truth-serum: Hey, I know about Vicks jersey selling out everywhere; so does Arthur Blank. Arthur Blank doesnt have a roster spot for Vick so he knows something about Vick that you dont know. Not only that, no team in the NFL has a roster spot for Vick so those general managers know something that you dont know either. That is that Vick is a MONSTER and will never work again, not only in the NFL but ANYWHERE. Vick wont ever work again. Listen, I’m not the evil one. The evil one is Vick. He is the one who drowned, electrocuted and killed dogs who were underperforming, certainly not me. Vick is the conVickTED felon, not me. How dare you call me evil. Im simply stated the facts and writing the truth as I see it. If you dont like the truth, then stay off the airwaves and keep your blogs to yourself. And by the way, who cares if Mike can sell out any stadium especially if Mikes skills WONT be put on display in any stadium because Vick wont be working anytime soon. Again keep your trash off the airwaves.
