WASHINGTON, May 18 (UPI) -- Under Armour said Saturday that it would pull a basketball T-shirt that was criticized for disrespecting the memory of American veterans.
The sports apparel company came under fire last week for selling a so-called "Band of Ballers" T-shirt, which depicted four men raising a basketball hoop. The image was based on Joe Rosenthal's Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph, "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima," one of the most iconic photographs of Wold War II.
