Margaret Flowers Rips Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank for Baltimore Corporate Welfare Project

Kevin Plank is the founder and CEO of the Baltimore based Under Armour. Margaret Flowers is a medical doctor and the Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate in Maryland. Margaret Flowers Plank also owns Sagamore Development Corporation, which wants to develop Port Covington in South Baltimore. And Plank wants Baltimore to pony up $660 million in tax breaks to fund the development. Kevin Plank Flowers wants to stop him. “Port Covington is the wrong project at the wrong time,” Flowers told Corporate Crime Reporter. “We don’t need to put the city into greater debt with the hope that it will be repaid at some date far in the future. We don’t need to spend funds on a new downtown when neighborhoods are failing.” “Baltimore needs to invest in some trickle up economics,” Flowers said. “If we are going to borrow money, let’s do it to benefit those who already live in our city and who are at the bottom. Let’s invest in high quality schools with career teachers and well-rounded programs. Let’s create community recreation centers that bring residents togeth... (Corporate Crime Reporter)

Texas lands OT Jean Delance, gains recruiting momentum

North Mesquite, gave Strong and Texas a needed push toward signing day by choosing the Longhorns over Michigan at the Under Armour All-America Game in Orlando, Fla. Delance, a top 100 prospect nationally, fills a position of need and could be in line to start from Day One at right tackle. His presence adds to a young core on the line that includes left tackle Connor Williams and guard Patrick Vahe, who each started last season as freshmen. Of the 13 commitments in Texas’ 2016 class, Delance is the highest-rated. He is the nation’s No. 90 prospect and the No. 10 tackle, according to 247Sports’ composite ratings, and he checks in at No. 13 on the American-Statesman’s Fabulous 55 list of the state’s top seniors. Two other linemen who have committed — guards Denzel Okafor (Lewisville) and Tope Imade (Arlington Bowie) — are three-star prospects. Just about every major program wanted Delance, including Alabama, Oklahoma and Ohio State. LSU joined Texas and Michigan in his top three. Moving the needle toward Texas was the possibility of early playing time and potentially a starting spot. At least two jobs are up for grabs next season with the losses of Taylor Doyle (center) and Sedrick Flowers (guard), leaving new line coach Matt Mattox with multiple lineup considerations. Kent Perkins can play tackle but might settle in at guard if Delance or Tristan Nickelson emerges as the guy at right tackle. Vahe could move to center — and probably will after veteran backup Jake Raulerson announced he’ll transfer. At any rate, Delance’s commitment is a positive s... (Hookem.com)
