Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has joined ballet dancer Misty Copeland
and basketball star Stephen Curry in criticizing Under Armour CEO Kevin
Plank in his praise of President Donald Trump.
In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Plank —
whose company sponsors the three stars — said, "To have such a
pro-business president is something that is a real asset for the
country."
His comments quickly came under fire with some calling for a boycott of the brand.
Referring to Plank's description of Trump as an
"asset," NBA star Steph Curry said: "I agree with that description, if
you remove the 'et.'"
The Rock posted a message on his Facebook page
on Thursday saying Plank's words "were divisive and lacking in
perspective." He went on to slam the CEO further, writing, "A good
company is not a single person. A good company is a team, a group of
brothers and sisters committed to working together each and every day to
provide for their families and one another and the clients they serve."
"Great leaders inspire and galvanize the masses
during turbulent times, they don't cause people to divide and disband,"
Johnson wrote.
