People who know me know I despise Under Armour—mostly because it’s the workout gear for bro-dudes who never work out. (Seriously, stop wearing your underclothes out in public, you look ridiculous.) Anyway, now I have yet another reason for despising Under Armour (who is also opening up a new office in PORTLAND in a few months). Their CEO, Kevin Plank, has made public his support of Trump in an interview with CNBC’s Fast Money Halftime Report.
From Business Insider:
“To have such a pro-business President is something that is a real asset for the country,” Plank said. “People can really grab that opportunity.”
And later:
“He wants to build things he wants to make bold decisions and be really decisive,” Plank said, referring to Trump’s plans to build a border wall and pass a large infrastructure improvement bill.
“I’m a big fan of people that operate in the world of publish and iterate versus think, think, think, think, think,” Plank said. “So there’s a lot that I respect there.”
Plank’s love of Trump is not necessarily a new thing, since he’s been flitting around Trump’s orbit before and after the election. But this latest revelation? GOOD TO KNOW. If you can afford to, throw your Under Armour gear in the garbage where it belongs, vow to never buy it again, and start planning a real Portland-style welcome when they arrive in a few months.
I’m buying so much more of their stuff now!!
It’s basically Patagonia for rednecks.
LOL – I got contacted by their T&A (funny that acronym) and told I was a “great” candidate & they were “really interested” in talking to me about several jobs. Then my contact failed to respond to any of my six responses. Guess I dodged a bullet there.
They are and have been in Portland, the new location is expansion. Why they’d do that in this anti-business environment is beyond me, but take the charity and be thankful they’re here paying taxes and creating jobs. Or not. The rest of us are moving forward and getting stuff done. Join us when you get past the impotent rage. I get it, was livid eight years ago when an inexperienced theorist somehow got elected. He did some damage, but nothing that couldn’t be worked around. Didn’t matter much after a while. All that anger? It really doesn’t hurt anyone but you.
You are against a President who wants to bring jobs back to the US, help our Veterans get decent healthcare, roll back a healthcare system that is anything but affordable, deport ILLEGAL criminals, AND prevent terrorists from coming here to kill people like you and those you love? You’re a special kind of stupid aren’t you?
