Sooo what exactly did Under Armour do and why is everyone boycotting them?

I'm pretty sure I don't own a single piece of Under Armour but I'm curious.

The Bowmars who were sponsored by Under Armour posted video of a bear hunt in Canada. The husband killed a Bear with a spear (which is legal). There was an uproar about how he acted after the spear hit and how "inhumane" the kill was. Basically a bunch of liberal tampons cried about it and Under Armour caved, pulling their sponsorship. A bunch of BS but in a world where we must film everything, everything is going to be scrutinized, both good and bad.

They sponsored Sarah Bowmar, a huntress woman. Her and her husband went on a Canadian bear hunt and she filmed her husband hand spear a big bear. Bear went down in seconds. anti-hunters cried; UA folded

All in all UA should have stood behind their people. They need to be all in if they are going to support hunters



Here is the filmed hunt


This is who they dropped

Was waiting for this to make it here. I saw scentlok is offering half off everything during this time. If you ask me, the marketing person deserves a raise if a large market share is gained.

If you are going to boycott everyone you dont agree with you will be left with little to no products. I will still wear UA bcause i like it.

I like their long handles. Wouldn't be caught dead in a polo, hat or hoodie though.

Way overpriced anyway

I like their stuff but the marketing campaign towards kids turns me off. Of course all the other Co's do it also.

I don't give a shite who a company sponsors however I don't buy UA because there are other brands with better products for the price, customer service, and warranty.

Also - bear "hunting" over a huge barrel of bait that a guide brought you to takes 0 skill no mater what weapon you use to actually make the kill. I will never understand why people pay thousands to do it.

So basically a bunch of conservative tampons are crying about the actions of a bunch of liberal tampons? And then proceed to act just like them.

Never really liked their shite anyway. Got a set of the cold gear for Christmas a couple years ago and have only worn it twice. I like Cabela's ECWCS Polartec base layers.

Never did like UA for some reason. Fishing I stick to Columbia products and hunting it's Carhartt pants, Cabela's ECWCS with Outfitters Berber Fleece. Never get cold in La. Trying the Wooltimate this year.
