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.

Well, in that case, I guess he’s got every right to damage his company.
BTW, I guess my reading comprehension isn’t too good tonight. That’s stated in the first sentence.
They found a niche alright. Have you read their reviews?

So glad I sold that shit UA stock months ago. This company can go screw with a pantywaists at the helm like this douche.
Overpriced thread. I actually think UA is terribly overrated!!
I’ll never buy UA now. Maybe I’ll short the stock???
These CEO’s are a lot stupider than I would have thought.
Do they really think that these anarchists are going to love them because they quit the Manufacturing Council?
They are hated because they are WHITE and WEALTHY.
Dumb as a plank!
Trying their best to blame everything on Trump
UnderArmor was already on a losing skid. I nevemliked or would buy their products.
Where is his comments of obama and the democrats and all the rioting they support?
Well I guess Duck Dynasty won’t be wearing/buying their crap any more? I sure as hell won’t be buying any more! Good Bye UA.
“Under Armour is overrated...and over worn.
Expensive spandex.”
I can find similar quality stuff for 10 bucks at WalMart.
shirts, shorts
Why do we even need a White House Manufacturing Council?
How many resignations does this make?
Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is an enemy action.
And let me just thank the CEO for saving me the money I will no longer be spending on UA’s product.
And the list of Plank’s political contributions makes interesting reading. Donor to Dems and RINOs.
Wonder if acceptances of people on the council were made with plans to resign all along...
I’m thinking of shorting UA...
