Vick to train at Disney's Wide World of Sports?

Since Michael Vick's involvement in a dogfighting ring came to light last year, there have been serious questions about his ability to continue playing in the NFL. Vick hopes to prove otherwise by working with famed trainer Tom Shaw at Disney's Wide World of Sports in Walt Disney World.

However, Disney may not be too keen on the idea of a convicted animal abuser training in Mickey's--and Pluto's--backyard. "Obviously Disney is the No. 1 choice because it's so nice here," Shaw told The Orlando Sentinel. "But I would never put Disney in a position of getting negative exposure. If Disney tells me he can't train here, then I won't train him here."

Disney may choose to deny Vick's request to train at Wide World of Sports to avoid the PR debacle surely to follow. If Vick isn't reinstated in the NFL right away, he could play for the Orlando franchise of the United Football League starting in October. [Orlando Sentinel]
