My Dads Church Asked Under Armour To Donate Last Season and Discontinued Clothes To Those Less Fortunate - “We Don’t Want Homeless Wearing Our Brand!”
So my Dad came home from church yesterday really heated and upset. His church is a pretty big and known church specially here in Baltimore, MD. They are hosting a huge event to give back to the homeless and those in need.
The church reached out to Under Armour in hopes they could donate old or discontinued items for the community event. According to my Dad they got back to the church and specifically stated they will not donate because “they do not want the homeless wearing their brand” and I couldn’t really believe it at first. He got in touch with some of his fellow congregates and I heard it directly from the church.
Now I thought really long and hard about this and tried seeing things from both sides. Why would a huge multi-billion dollar company want the homeless walking around in their clothing?
I did some research and found a few plausible reasons why they would deny the churches request.
A few realistic possibilities:
1. Brand Control
2. Legal & Liability Concerns
3. Precedent Problem (Say yes to one church and more will ask)
4. Tax / Accounting Complications
5. Existing Philanthropy Channels (Approved Non-Profits & Tax Documented Partners)
Regardless I believe whoever responded to the initial email could use some “bedside manner” or they need a better PR representative. I can’t believe they would clearly state they don’t want certain demographic or group wearing the UA brand.
OG PS5 - Swapped PSU Now Has System Wide Lag (Even In Menus)
I have a PlayStation 5 that I purchased on release day, so it's a day one system. The past few days the console would randomly start shutting off on its own without any warning. So I did some research and found the power supply unit could go back, so I purchased a new and compatible one online. I just took my console apart and added the new power supply unit. I went to hook the PS5 back up and plugged it in directly to a wall socket and turned it on. No matter what game I choose or no matter what I do the console LAGS so bad that it's actually unusable. If I press up it takes a good 20 seconds to actually look up, even on the PS home screen. I can't even navigate the home screen or options menu without it lagging and doing what it wants to do. What could have gone wrong? All I did was swap the PSU for a new one.
TL;DR:
My launch-day PS5 started randomly shutting off, so I replaced the PSU with a compatible new one. After reassembling it, the console powers on but now the entire system lags horribly — even the home screen takes 20+ seconds to respond to inputs. Games are unplayable. I only swapped the power supply, so I’m trying to figure out what could’ve gone wrong during the repair.+
EDIT: UPDATE -
Well I got it working but I had to turn blue tooth off and use my controller with a USB-C cable. Wi-Fi is working fine and I can play games again, just can't use blue tooth.
I have a day 1 PlayStation 5 that just started cutting off on its own. I’ve had it since the first day that the ps5 released in the United States.
Over the past week or so the ps5 started shutting down mid games and whenever it felt like it. At first I thought it was overheating so I would wait a while before turning back on. However the last two days it would cut off just only from an hour or two of playing and I had a fan pointing directly at it just to help.
Well I read online apparently it could be the power supply causing the issue not overheating specifically. I also noticed once it shuts off it will not turn back on until I unplug the power cable and plug it back in.
How do I determine if it’s shutting off due to the power supply or it’s from overheating? I’m going to repair this myself so I don’t want to buy the wrong thing.
TL:DR - OG PS5 randomly shuts off and won’t turn back on until I unplug power cable and plug it back in.
