Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Athletes often find themselves in situations wherein they make speeches of apologia or seek to repair their images. Michael Vick gave such a speech on August 27, 2007, following his conviction for involvement in dogfighting and gambling. By conducting a close textual analysis of Vick's speech of apologia, this study applies apologia and image repair theories to his speech and suggests expansion of these theories to more fully account for such instances of sports apologia.
