The Michael Vick book tour continues. After canceling the remainder of his book tour because of the death threats, the controversial quarterback is back on the road to promote his autobiography.

The March 26 appearance was cancelled, but the Michael Vick book tour will continue. His book,Finally Free, was released last September, and Vick is hoping his public tour with help boost sales.

Michael Vick also made it clear he thinks people have better things to worry about then him after six years. Speaking to USA Today, Vick explained, “People are dying every day, children are being killed, going to jail… That’s what’s important. Those people are not important.”

Vick goes further to explain he did not cancel his book tour because of fear, but precaution instead. With a large number of people expected at the appearances, Vick wanted to make sure the people close to him would be safe.

Defensively, Michael Vick also wonders why he would stop the tour, “if it happens again, we’re still going to move forward, but we’ll do it in a totally different way. The book is doing great because of all the attention it’s gotten in the last couple days, so what more can I ask for?”
