The Kong Blog is a fellow blogger blog that often has pictures of NBA players and then pushes advertising and companies. There is no need to go to that sight as it is not even made up o real writers like the Blog of Beasts or Adopt a Beast blog. Upon further examination this bloghttp://www.thekongblog.com/ is basically a robotic blog that pushes paid products and is a subliminal way to induce products and advertising for such through internet but I wanted to comment on their glamorizing of Mr Kevin Plank. he has built this Under Armor clothing company for sweat hog athletes into a mega-million revenue stream but if there ever was a classic case of an Obama example of you didn't build this case it is Mr Plank. The government built Mr Plank's company with all these school-funded sports extracurricular activities and without them Under Armour or any sports-related gear company wouldn't grow.
Have you ever thought why Rugby is not a big time sport. This is because corporations have not been able to find a way to change rules and get the union to change rules and be able to force players to wear gear for sales. These private companies have pretty much a monopoly in the sporting goods industry and Mr. Plank didn't really do anything that revolutionary despite what the Kong Blog and others might say about his engineering moisture-wicking performance fibers, the shirt helps keep athletes cool, dry, and light in the most brutally hot conditions. Sports obsession and massive wasteful spending by corporations into this industry is the real cause and should be the celebration of Mr Plank's Under Armour. Kevin Planks brand pretty much partnered over the year and formed Brand relationships with key retail partners and professional sports leagues [including Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, and the Baltimore Marathon]. Most of these owners ere already billionaires and just decided they anted to get on the ground floor of a ne company which they couldn't get more of a chunk of profit ability from the long-established clothing companies already in existence. Plank also secured the advertising executives trust by spending much of his profits into their television commercial advertising space which pleased many and was the goal of this synergetic drive to push a new athletic wear to the public and athletes throughout the country. There is nothing special about under Amour's growth and basically just represents another example of how big time money players can change a culture and create a need for more unique products where one really didn't just exist except to raid the fortunes and profits of established players in the industry.
