Under Armour could have lost one of its most popular clients hours after CEO Kevin Plank sang Donald Trump’s praises.
Stephen Curry, who has built a strong partnership with the sports-retail brand over the years since he ditched Nike in 2013, heard Plank call Trump an “asset” for supporting American businesses in an interview with CNBC Tuesday. So Curry trimmed a few letters to fit his beliefs.
“I agree with that description,” Curry told Mercury News, “if you remove the ‘-et’ from asset.”
Curry, who quietly supported Hillary Clinton in the election, opened up on Wednesday about the frantic aftermath of Plank’s controversial comments.
“I spent all day yesterday on the phone with countless people at Under Armour, countless people in Kevin Plank’s camp, my team, trying to understand what was going on and where everybody stood on the issue,” the Warriors star guard said. “Based off the release that KP sent out this morning, and what he told me last night, that’s the Under Armour that I know. That’s the brand I know he’s built and one that, as of Wednesday afternoon, is something that I’m standing on.”

“If there is a situation where I can look at myself in the mirror and say they don’t have my best intentions, they don’t have the right attitude about taking care of people,” Curry said. “If I can say the leadership is not in line with my core values, then there is no amount of money, there is no platform I wouldn’t jump off if it wasn’t in line with who I am. So that’s a decision I will make every single day when I wake up. If something is not in line with what I’m about, then, yeah, I definitely need to take a stance in that respect.”

What a shame that I have had nothing to do with the NBA in quite a few years. It seems that the Libs now want everybody to espouse a specific set of beliefs in order to enjoy the product or services they provide.
Well, screw them! I am taking my business to inclusive companies.

Poor little Stephanie Currie got all upset when someone told the truth? Someone should get him to a safe space and give him come crayons. (Had to look him up to see who he was. Appears to play in the NBA - Negro Basketball Association.
It is amazing at what geniuses these people are that can bounce a ball. Most of them end up broke and folks that listen to them stand around on corners smoking dope and drinking anything they can get their hands on.

Group think. Liberals can’t think for themselves, that all repeat talking points, eat the same things, never think for themselves. This is the result of celebrity worship
How old is this guy?
Okay, lets do that.
...heard Plank call Trump an “asset” for supporting American businesses...
Who is this Curry ***hole and why is what he spews "news"? Why does he hate American businesses and not want PRESIDENT Trump to support them?
It is amazing to me the a genius like Curry can even spell ass.
In fairness, most of the likely consumers of his “brand” are not Trump supporters.
He is a grown up who throws balls through holes for a living.
Sounds like a sore loser
He is a professional basketball player. Golden State Warriors in Oakland, CA. Liberal city. Liberal state. Favorites to win NBA championship in June.
aka "Talcum X"
What exactly is "controversial" about Curry's statement? And this from the NY Post. The Left is going full Commie at this point.
