This practice has been common for a long time. It's only this year that US employees of sportswear maker Under Armor have indicated by e-mail that they would no longer be tolerated, wrote the "Wall Street Journal" (Tuesday) , citing in veiled circles in the company.

According to the report, employees, including executives, often went to undressing clubs after corporate events with athletes and colleagues – in many cases, the company bore the costs. The behavior was symptomatic of the conditions that women found humiliating in Under Armor. For example, managers should have invited their younger colleagues – based on their "attraction for men" – to exclusive parties in a field of Planks.

"We can and will do better"

Under Armor did not deny the incidents in a statement to the newspaper. "We can and we will do better," said founder and CEO Plank. Employees have acquired a respectful work environment. He believes that "systemic inequality" is a global problem, he continues, with important cultural changes already underway at Under Armor. Even the big rival Nike had caused a sensation this year by reporting allegations of badism and discrimination.
