On top of that, I think the Rock is actually a Republican, so that adds a little to the context.
I see. Under Armour. Another brand to boycott.
Shit! If this keeps up, Iāll have nothing to wear!
CEO (Idiot-White): Trump āan asset to the countryā
How can anyone with a position of responsibility reach this conclusion, even if you liked Trump?
I wish TPM had included and highlighted Steph Curryās remarks instead of the Rockās. Steph said something like āhe is an asset, if you get rid of the etā. Heās been strong in pushing back against the CEO and will probably lose a fat endorsement but doesnāt seem to give a damn. My respect for him shot through the roof.
Why is this a surprise? UnderArmour sells clothing that exults an odd militarized, jingo-nationalist, camo-sexual fashion! Chickenhawk Couture.
So Iām 92% serious on this: if The Rock ran for president in 2020, heād win, and it probably wouldnāt be all that close. Iām not sure it would matter which party he joined.
Iām entertaining this idea more seriously than I should be: I think the Democrats should recruit The Rock to run for president in 2020. Because he seems like a decent enough dude, sure, but mostly because HEāD WIN.
Sometimes you go to elections with the electorate you have.
Ass-et
Theyāre basically a brand rather than something that offers value. Iāve never seen the point.
I didnt know who Curry was but after reading about what he said, I am surprised that anyone (other than me that is 
) can be so emphatic and clear with sound basis. That too at a relatively very young age. Admirable, yes.
correction: heās an asshat
Donāt get on the wrong side of The Rock ā¦
None of the three has severed ties with the company.
Hey you can only go so far calling out a source of income!
And then heād probably get decent folks around him that knew what the hell they were doing unlike, well you know,
Where on a corporate balance sheet does āasset to the countryā come down? Looks like itās on the debit side from here.
And @buckguy: so far theyāre the only ones I can find who sell the 7" running shorts. I hate those knee-plus length baggies. I need to be able to move without that crap.
Misty Copelandās remarks were very thoughtful and eloquent.
I think a Al Franken 2020 campaign would be far more amusing. "Heās smart enough, good enoughā¦
If Under Armour drops him or The Rock, Nike or Adidas will be right there to scoop them up. They both know this, so they wonāt mind taking more shots at the CEO or Trump. Good for them. So, I suppose itās safe to say that the UA CEO just smelled what The Rock was cookinā?
Sorryā¦had to do it. 
ā¦and to the point.
Itās possible that Misty Copelandās ābrandā is now more valuable to her than her sponsorship with UnderArmour. That sponsorship paid them back when she became a principal dancer and her UnderArmour ad went viral. Plank needs to listen.
