Movie star and potential 2020 presidential candidate Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, has taken exception with how President Trump has dealt with politically outspoken athletes.
According to “The Rock,” the players just want “to be heard.” advertisement
Johnson told InStyle Magazine, “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.”
Though, Johnson doesn’t merely confine his criticisms to how Trump has handled anthem-protesting NFL players. The actor and former wrestler also addressed the president’s criticism of NBA star Steph Curry, after the Warriors guard said he didn’t want to visit the White House.

The FACT is these players are protesting whitey which they have been brain washed in the lib indoctrination/soros public school system.
This is nothing but a protest to advance their SJ destroy this country theme. SHUT UP AND DO MOVIES YOU PYLE.
Shut up Dwayne. Go go making your live cartoon movies. Don’t take that ‘run for President’ noise seriously. No one else does.
>>According to “The Rock,” the players just want “to be heard.”
Kneeling isn’t speaking. I can’t “hear” a kneel. NFL players are incredibly wealthy. They could easily pay for a venue where they could speak. where is their “this is what we want” website? PSAs? Billboards? Star-studded rock and rap spectaculars? Monster Truck rallies?
Nothing. Because they don’t know what they want. When they prepare a list of demands, it sounds like a 5 year old’s Christmas list....a very racist 5 year old because every demand ends with “for African-Americans”.
Sorry, I would agree to listen but this seems to be a case where the protests are flashing by like stream of conscientious.
Protest the anthem in order to get socialism? Not today.
One multi-millionaire defending other oppressed multi-millionaires. Please, make me oppressed so I can live in a big mansion and drive a different car every day of the week.
meh
Delusion runs deep on the left
The Rock thinks it’s so easy so why doesn’t he run? What is his platform? Everybody listen?

Good to know. I think I will protest at the next Dwayne Johnson movie. But I will not protest outside the theater.
I will protest inside the theater, right in front of the screen. i will force the moviegoers to watch my protest, whether they want to or not.
Oh, and one more thing. Since the NFL protests have nothing to do with football, I will protest about something that has nothing to do with movies. The guy who cuts my lawn just raised his price. I think I will protest against that. Right in front of the movie screen.
There is an unspoken agreement between the players and the fans that the game of football is an escape from worldly concerns like politics.
The players have reneged on that agreement, therefore the agreement no longer stands.
I thought the “Rock” had a little sense.........I was terribly wrong! What’s gonna happen to his bro’s when the NFL goes belly up and these poor disadvantaged victims of racism in a totally racist country (in their ignorant minds) lose these big salaries which most of them don’t even deserve? They gonna moan and groan that da man is holding them down again?........probably.
Shut up and act.
Dwayne is keeping his blackness real and ignoring his brain
Maybe dumbass Dwayne should address the issue of black teens and twenty somethings committing roughly half the crimes in the country.
And what about all the blacks gunned down in Chicago? It isn’t white police or white citizens shooting them.
He’s running.
I eagerly await for the next TV contract and collective bargaining agreement. The pain of this will hit the owner much harder and finally hit the players.
The players will lobby for an NFL bailout. When the NFL fails, the oppressed, non-paid college football players will scream the loudest.
Shut up Rock. I like you. Don’t make me hate you.
Yo Rock, shut up and give Hulk Hogan his rematch.

Just wait until the Stupor Bowl!
