The CEO of Merck, Kenneth Frazier, resigned from the President's manufacturing council, followed by executives from Under Armour and other major firms.

The Wounded Warrior Project faces criticism for its aggressive legal defense of its trademark, often suing smaller veteran charities with similar logos. Veterans have complained about the organization's exclusive sourcing through Under Armour and its refusal to allow independent authors to sell books at sanctioned events.
