I'm a firm believer that Facebook video postage hunting pictures, YouTube post and TV hunting shows are now the enemy to the normal hunting communities.
They do more to arm the anti crowd then help the hunting crowd post Cecil. The anti crowd does not need anything good or bad to support their cause. They are illogical and emotional. They want all hunting stopped. Even here among "friends" I was unmercifully attacked for a dozen or more pages because I showed no "respect" for a deer I shot in the head. They seemed to prefer a deer with a hole in the chest that didn't die before it hit the ground. That shows "respect".

Some people just don't get it, but a corporate sponsorship only lasts as long as the arrangement is making money, and/or good press, for the sponsor. When that no longer happens, the deal is off, and they find someone else to sponsor.
While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.

A few posters have already noted this but the "antis" aren't who we need to concern ourselves with and I agree with Ringman on that much. Nothing we do/don't do is going to change their minds and I really don't care what they choose to believe. It's the people in the middle, the ones who aren't strongly pro- or anti- that can make a difference and we don't need to go out of our way to alienate them. And Under Armour didn't slap anyone or anyone's wife, they just made a choice about where to invest their advertising dollars. Isn't that their prerogative?

Atlatls are legal for deer hunting in Missouri....probably not a UA approved method of hunting

Pretty much here with Stevlyn. I own 2 pieces - top and bottom underwear- of UA. Wore the top once, probably never again. Tight and clammy, and too expensive. Wear the bottoms occasionally when hunting with the snow machine. So I like tights - bite me! . I don't like tight tops- and like I said, it feels clammy. I won't be buying any more UA. Agree with premise that it was a good kill, good follow up, bad post, and justifiable dropping of sponsorship

Way to make easy money and have a lot of fun.....find a pretty girl, teach her how to shoot a bow and gun, film her hunts, sell to men who like to watch a pretty girl dressed in camo. Worked pretty good till hubby got too cocky. No pun intended.

I found this thread very interesting and I see some parallels with the hunting/gun community and the African American Community. Both groups are minorities yet are very vocal. Both groups attack their own for agreeing with the majority, i.e. Uncle Tom or anti-gun/hunter. Neither group is willing to discipline or exclude those who are detrimental to their existence.
As a hunter/shooter, we all need to decide on what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. Spear hunting for bear? What's next slingshots? Maybe beefed up brush guards on our trucks cruising the road looking to run over something. I know this sounds absurd, but the attention seeking idiots will think of something else more absurd trying to make a dollar. I think we will start losing support from the general public who is the majority if we continue to justify all types of hunting and shooting. There is a line we can all cross which would not be acceptable and it needs to be defined. Just my 2 cents.

This is a company deciding who they will and won't sponsor based on what type of product or performance is put out by those they sponsor. Clark

It's not the lady, her husband, or the the spear so much as the camera, and the publishing of what the camera did which is the problem here. Her failure to understand that suggests a (common) disconnect between freedom and responsibility.

Atlatls are legal for deer hunting in Missouri....probably not a UA approved method of hunting Trapping with legholds is legal in most states. Should I make a youtube video of the procedures involved, and expect Under Armor to continue sponsorship after I post said video on YouTube? Give me a fugking break. Nobody even knew spear hunting in North America EXISTED until this stupid f a g g o t and his do-nothing khgunt of a wife decided to affix a Go-Pro to a fugking spear. And now I'm supposed to GAF that Under Armor isn't going to keep writing them checks? Under Armor made no admonishments to the hunting community. Under Armor has and will continue to endorse dozens of hunters. They simply chose to stop endorsing this pair of clown shoes. As would I. Clark

a spear with a stop against a bear would be something, let it charge then hope it runs itself through and the stop on the spear works.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that UA cut the sponsorship. What did the two morons think would happen when they used a spear, filmed it and showed it? I can't support spearing and I have never owned a piece of overpriced UA stuff.
