Recently, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank met with President Trump and came away with a positive assessment of our new leader, saying that his pro-business attitude is “a real asset for the country.

As with everything related to Trump, of course, people were upset with this take. NBA Superstar Steph Curry, who represents Under Armour’s shoe division, said “I agree with that description. If you remove the ‘et.’”

Plus, he had more to say when he decided to speak out:

“It’s a fine line, but it’s about how we’re operating, how inclusive we are, what we stand for. He’s the President. There are going to be people that are tied to them. But are we promoting change?

Are we doing things that are going to look out for everybody? And not being so self-serving that it’s only about making money, selling shoes, doing this and that. That’s not the priority. It’s about changing lives. I think we can continue to do that.

If there is a situation where I can look at myself in the mirror and say they don’t have my best intentions, they don’t have the right attitude about taking care of people … if I can say the leadership is not in line with my core values, then there is no amount of money, there is no platform I wouldn’t jump off if it wasn’t in line with who I am.

So that’s a decision I will make every single day when I wake up. If something is not in line with what I’m about, then, yeah, I definitely need to take a stance in that respect.”

So, selling shoes is NOT the most important goal for a shoe company? Okay.

Curry spent time on the phone with the leadership of Under Armour to make sure they still had the same values as he did.

In the meantime, if Curry is not “all about the money,” I look forward to seeing him return that paycheck to the company now that he realizes they are aligned in values.
