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.

Good Lord Trump had nothing to do with Charlottesville. These people are low character freaks.

Who cares. I can’t imagine why they were there to begin with.

As soon as I saw that the company is headquartered in Baltimore I figured the guy is probably looking to sign Colin Kaepernick as a company spokesman.

I was back to school shopping with my grandson at Ross the other day. The racks were full of $6.99 a piece UA.

“Just good-old fashioned capitalism. “

Sure, but pissing on Trump for a false narrative that Trump supports racism is a great way to destroy the company.

Just this evening I was at MO's considering their obviously overpriced running shoes. Couldn't decide and now I'm so glad to have dodged that bullet.

Thank you Free Republic!

WTF!

If I were on the board of directors this guy would be out the door for not having any judgment or common sense.

If I were a shareholder I'd be selling quick. Nothing like alienating 50% of your potential market.

This is the best they can do for a CEO?

How is an announcement of this minor of magnitude even made public? I have things I have announced that are more important, (like having cold watermelon in the fridge, or having made ice cream), but they never make the national news. If I announced that I was never again buying Under Armor products, which sympathetic leftist media organization should I expect would publicize this on the national news?

Wtf! Effing Obama cult hypocrite!

Hopefully, worn under armour underwear can be sent to the CEO as a display for sadness over his lack of testicle support.

Athletes like Jordan Spieth, who wear UA are now faced with a dilemma, aren’t they?

“This is the best they can do for a CEO”.

He founded the company and owns enough voting stock to control it.
