Susquehanna Analyst Downgrades Under Armour Because CEO Made Positive Remark About Trump, Says Company Ruined Chance to Build Urban Brand

Jesus fucking Christ how cucked can this country get? Listen to me, the CEO of Under Armour made a proper and polite statement about the President of the United States, someone he wished to influence in order to help his company flourish, as opposed to deriding him and getting nothing but anguish out of the relationship.

 

Here were Kevin Plank’s god awful comments, ‘praising Trump.’

The result? Fucking lunacy. Leftards have boycotted the brand, calling on Stephen Curry to pull out of his very lucrative deal with them (~$4m per annum).

After hearing Plank make comments that didn’t include calling Trump a fascist rapist orange pig, which would’ve been welcomed and regaled by all on the left as appropriate comments from the ‘resistance’, Curry spent a whole day trying to hash out what in the actual fuck was going on at UA, calling Trump an ‘ass’ in the process.

“I spent all day yesterday on the phone,” Curry said, “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. 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.”

Fast forward to today, Sam Poser from Susquehanna is downgrading $UAA now, following the stock already declining by half over the past six months — because MUH ‘praising Trump.’ One of the major set backs for the company, according to Poser, were the prospects of a burgeoning ‘urban brand’ — due to Trump’s unpopularity amongst black people.

Plank’s pro-Trump commentary makes it “nearly impossible to effectively build a cool urban lifestyle brand in the foreseeable future,” Poser said in a report. He also cut his stock-price target to $14 from $24, putting him at the low end of Wall Street peers.

“At this point we don’t believe Under Armour is in danger of losing Steph Curry,” Poser said. “However, it simply cannot be good for business if the face of Under Armour spoke out so pointedly against the CEO’s comments. Other Under Armour brand athletes such as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Misty Copeland have also spoken out against Mr. Plank’s comments.”

Poser compared the incident to a gaffe by Lululemon Athletica Inc. in 2013.

In responding to concerns about yoga-pant pilling, founder Chip Wilson said the problem was the bodies of some customers. “Some women’s bodies just actually don’t work,” he said on Bloomberg Television. “It’s about the rubbing through the thighs.”

That incident led to a “strike” by some Lululemon customers, Poser said. And the stock price went from $68 to $46 in a few months.

 

In other words, Poser is comparing Plank merely suggesting that Trump is an asset to America because of his business acumen, to the retarded CEO of $LULU casting out a large part of his customer base by fat shaming them.

Are you enjoying this new perverted version of America and democracy?

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Sam Poser, was in fact, a disgusting fat man, with the likeness of a middle earth monster.

    Lulu pants are for high school girls, teenagers. They do not fit older folks and in such cases the results are decidedly poor. Very rare is a woman brave enough to wear the pants, but you do get the odd idiot now and then.

    No doubt the minorities will boycott. Plank should have known this. I think what Plank was trying to do is get Trump’s support to help revitalize Baltimore. Plank really wants to help his hometown Baltimore, which has decayed into chaos. He put his hometown over his company. Personally, I think Balitmore is beyond redemption anyway – another example of what happens when the leftist gain control and try to create their ‘utopia.’

    These fat bitches do cause extra pilling though. These companies should just stay the fuck out of the cesspool that is politics. And at the same time they should not listen to these small few trolls on social media, its destroying the country.

      If and when they eat too much the stomach stretches. After that the skin stretches. Henceforth the stomach is quite often hungry causing a feedback loop due to its large capacity. Another related source of obecity being a diet lacking in protein, the poor have this.
