First they pissed off their fanbase, so their fanbase stopped watching. Then their rating fell like a rock, so their advertisers are stopped advertising. The next domino should be the arenas half full and then salaries across the board to be cut or drop like a rock. Then maybe, just maybe these overpaid "Woke" athletes will start to understand, you don't disrespect the American Flag, the military, or law enforcement.

Do you think the Feds will bail them out?

I’m all for boycotting pro sports. But I still think the majority of athletes were encouraged to do this. This wasn’t grass roots IMO.

We stopped by their overpriced athletic wear when they lifted their leg up on America.

It is fun watching them slowly fade away.

Under Armour did not terminate their contract with Tom Brady. I wonder if they are still keeping their contract with Notre Dame.

Perhaps the NFL should go back to the neutral strategy of promoting ‘Up With People’ plastic tooth-paste entertainment again that all sides of the political spectrum cringed at.

In 2017 and 2018 UA lost money. 2019 UA earned 92 million. So canceling an 85 million dollar sponsorship almost doubles their profit. Short term a big impact on bottom line, long term could effect growth of sales.

Steve Bisciotti, owner of the Ravens and a lot of Under Armor, was also a supporter of President Trump. Some of the athletes under contract to UA - notably Steph Curry - took issue to his support of Trump. I wonder if this is some delayed reaction to that pushback.

Super Bowl has a huge PR problem because of the idiot son of Andy Reid.

Drunk driving . the 5 year old girl he hit is on a ventilator. I think he was coming from something to do with the Chiefs

Note his other son died of a heroin overdose

I thought we were boycotting Under Armour for something.

They supported something.......so many boycotts in my life I can’t keep track.
I’m still boycotting Dannon Yogurt but I forgot why! LOL

Looks like Under Armour is sending a “sorry” message by keeping Brady......sorry for whatever reason I’m boycotting them for. LMAO

Under Armour asked to end its $85 million deal with the University of California (Cal), and also cut ties with UCLA after ending its 15-year, $280 million deal with that school. The company also paid off the University of Cincinnati to rexit is 10-year, $50 million deal.

That is not all. Under Armour also backed out of its $50 million deal with Major League Baseball.

Amazing that UCLA had $280 million $ contract and the MLB only had a 50 Million.

Add that data to how so many state colleges/universities are the biggest employers in many states.

Then, how many of these universities hate America, us and Trump.

If it wasn’t for Walmart in most of America, the biggest employer in many states would be the big colleges and then health care. No wonder we are losing elections with the left wing universities being the biggest payroll in so many states!

“on the heels of several years of cratering TV ratings across all professional sports.”

Schadenfreude.

The NFL is going to be liquidated to settle the brain damage lawsuits. Soon. I’ll enjoy the pain of the retarded fans. High school football will follow soon thereafter.

I had a friend die in his fifties from brain damage he received in high school and college. The second half of his life was no fun. I still know a few of our coaches from those early days — I spit on the ground every time I see them — they knew what they were doing.

To hell with the fans, when the advertisers bail, it’s over. Called it a couple of years ago. Remaining advertisers will be re-negotiating those rates based on a declining viewership, and it won’t be pretty for the boys on the field.
