Just like many of you, I sent off my emails the other day to the Eagles sponsors and here’s the email I got back from ACME. I’m guessing many of you got the same letter.
Here’s the email . . .
Dear Therese Kopiwoda,
Thank you for your inquiry. As a company, Acme supports many organizations in our local community, but our sponsorship of these organizations does not imply an endorsement of their individual members, their personal actions or views. Animal welfare is important to Acme, and we are committed to the humane treatment of animals at all times.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our customer service center at 1-877-932-7948.
Sincerely,
Curtis S.
Acme Markets
Customer Care Specialist
I then responded to Curtis asking how they could be committed to humane treatment of animals, yet support a team that has signed a dog killer to play on their team. Guess what I got in return? The exact same email they sent me the first time! They sure know how to listen, huh?
Way to go, ACME! That’s commitment to humane treatment of animals if I ever saw it! (FYI ACME folks, in case you couldn’t tell, that comment was dripping with sarcasm.)
Quit hiding behind that corporate speak and do something! You say your sponsorship doesn’t mean you endorse individual members. That may be what you think, but guess what? That’s exactly what it means to many dog lovers. Whether you like it or not, people are upset that you and the other sponsors are helping reward Vick for being a dog killer. PERIOD!
Here’s the list of Sponsors, along some of their Facebook & Twitter accounts.
Technorati Tags: Philadelphia Eagles, Michael Vick

I just called to get their email address and apparently they work together with Albertsons and no one will give you their email. I asked if they had emails and Marion said they do but she needs more info before she can give it to me. Obviously I knew she wasnt going to give it to me if I asked for Curtis Stone and for his email so I can email him a complaint, so I pretanded he emailed me,no luck, she told me to delete the email and not to worry about their email address. Also their store is advertising going green. Does anyone have their email since I am just barroing this face book?
Thanks
