Under Armour To Stick With 'Duck Dynasty' Franchise Amid Media Uproar

Baltimore-based sports apparel maker Under Armour is keeping its ties to the "Duck Dynasty" franchise amid a media uproar over comments made by star Phil Robertson about gays and blacks.While the company says it does not condone Robertson's statements, Under Armor does not have plans to end its business dealings with the Robertson family.

"The recent comments in the GQ article are not reflective of Under Armour's beliefs and do not represent our point of view," the company said in a statement. "As a company, we are committed to diversity and inclusion and believe in treating everyone equally and with respect."

I can't see anything offensive in the article about gays, and nothing about blacks! In fact, he was very complimentary of the blacks!
