Kevin Plank, the founder and CEO of Under Armour, has announced that he is stepping down from the White House American Manufacturing Council.
Plank had initially sent out a statement on Charlottesville earlier today:
Under ArmourVerified account @UnderArmour We are saddened by #Charlottesville. There is no place for racism or discrimination in this world. We choose love & unity. - CEO Kevin Plank 7:34 AM - 14 Aug 2017
Following the departure of Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier from the very same council (which led to President Trump criticizing him on Twitter), there were questions about who would drop out next.

Under Armour is overrated...and over worn.
Expensive spandex.
CEO sounds like a quitter to me.
Trying their best to blame everything on Trump
He issued this statement one day after the legendary quote that has been my tagline ever since:
"We at Under Armour are disappointed by the Administration’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement as climate change continues to threaten our planet, our cities and our economies. Climate change is real and must be taken seriously by our business community, our customers, our neighbors and our elected officials. Sustainability has always been part of our DNA: it’s integral to how we live and work and is essential to our environment. As a business leader concerned with creating American jobs, I disagree with the decision to exit the Paris accord."
'Eff him, and 'eff Under Armour.
"...Under Armour..."
Never had any and no plans to buy.
I see that stuff all the time, especially on people who shouldn’t be wearing spandex.
Screw them. No more UA for our kids. I’m sick of this sh*t. I don’t give a rats about these crony capitalists.
Another empty marketing statement/gesture from a crony-capitalist
But you're right. He's a kitty. I've pretty much identified the pattern that whomever makes quick pronouncements likely has no spine or principles of thier own.
Look at who has been talking the past few days. Sort of like the saying about the dog that yelps is the one that got hit by the rock.
Just good-old fashioned capitalism.
It should be easier to find out what politicians these scum donate money to. So we know who’s working against the people.
Carhartt and Magpul are expensive, I’ve bought them.
Never bought UA. Too expensive, looks like queer gear.
Welcome to Targetville, Under `Armour’.
Show of hands: Who ever heard of “Kevin Plank” or the “blah blah manufacturing whatever” before today?
Is Soros offering a big cash prize to the person who can ‘virtue signal’ the loudest and most impassionedly, while insulting Trump at the same time?
I am disappointed by Under Armour’s decision to buy into a ripoff of the American taxpayer via the Paris Climate Agreement for a popular but scientifically unproven theory first promoted by Algore who shows no signs of walking the walk on climate change. I hope as a result UA has to worry about it’s own sustainability.
So, does this mean he thinks the POTUS is a Racist?
Does he actually think that the POTUS had anything to do with the Commies rioting in VA?
Does he not care to contribute his talents to help increase American Manufacturing?
Exactly what is his point?
Never bought the over-priced and over-hyped product so I can’t stop buying it, pity.
Adios. What happened? Did the left pull your race card?
