Steph Curry V. Under Armour

CEO of company says "It" is an asset to the company. Curry says he agrees if you leave off the E and the T. Says he's worth at least $200M in revenue to the company, and his payout is around $4 million, so he's a 50 to 1 benefit. They might want to think about what they say if it's going to piss off their biggest endorser.

CEO says he meant it strictly from a business climate perspective and not from any other political point of view.

However, the CEO apparently hasn't noticed that businesses have done better when a democrat is in the White House since 1960.
