It appears athlete-cum-actor Dwayne Johnson is holding fast to at least one of his old wresting monikers: “The People’s Champion.”
In a statement posted on his Facebook page Thursday Johnson—popularly known as “The Rock”—criticized the CEO of his sponsor Under Armour (UAA, +2.99%) for praising Trump.
“His words were divisive and lacking in perspective,” Johnson wrote. “Inadvertently creating a situation where the personal political opinions of Under Armor’s partners and its employees were overshadowed by the comments of its CEO.”
