When you lost The Rock.Dwayne The Rock Johnson: Trump needs to listen to protesting sports players
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson criticized the way President Trump has handled protests and criticism by professional athletes, saying the players just want “to be heard.”
“When the players are kneeling as a last resort, as a desire to be heard, clearly they’re not being heard. It’s an opportunity for our leaders, our president and his staff, to hear them, truly hear them, and not be angry,” the actor and former wrestler told InStyle Magazine in a new interview published Friday.
Johnson specifically referenced basketball player Steph Curry, who was singled out for criticism by Trump in September after Curry indicated he didn't want to visit the White House.
