The Rock speaks out

[Mic-Nificent]

You say put his neck on the line like he'll lose everything for having an opinion.

He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He is the highest paid actor in the WORLD.

Losing one endorsement isn't going to kill him. It will barely make a dent in his pocket.

And it's not even like he'll be losing anything. shyt, Steph Currys answer was more direct than this.

Stop talking like that man is just like us. He's not. He'll lose nothing by taking a stand on a topic such as this, especially times like the ones we're in now where every voice counts. These are not the times to be all "kumbaya everyone has an opinion let's all respect each other".

And I'll say again, it's real easy to talk about what other people should be doing when their money is on the line. The shyt where people expect celebrities to speak up for them is fukking tiring. When they don't say anything people get upset, then if they do say something people get upset.

Call yourself The Rock without being solid brehs

If Dwayne Johnson shows up to rhe NAACP awards this weekend, I'll never tell or tolerate a joke about him being a c00n. If he no shows, open season.

Now the Rock..a man who has done 100x more for his community and family than you can dream of doing for yours needs to validate himself to u? This cat proudly talked about his NAACP nominations...wtf is wrong with you kids? Hahaha

Nobody would care about Roman, Nia, The Usos, Tamina..none of them without the Rock...he just single handily saved Paige's contract. Hiarious

Just like u? 20 yrs ago? This guy was much worst off than u...nygga had a dime in his pocket. He made all of this. His success..all of it. Just like Jordan and Ali did. People are buck wild on here.

I don't need anybody to speak for me, believe that. But remaining silent isn't smart anymore, it's cowardly.

When I'm putting my black ass dollars in your black ass pocket and you say you take pride in your black ass family, you don't get to stick your head in the sand and play dumb when it comes to black ass issues.

fukk outta here with that breh. And that goes for all celebs, not just him.

 

[R=G]

Will Smith is silent everyday. Jordan is silent all the time. Because the Rock is ultra successful...you give a fukk. Martin Lawrence is silent every week...where's the bytching about that? Kevin Hart? He's not Black this week? Lol! Craziness.

c00n from day 1

lol whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Maybe he trying to stay Neutral so Rikishi can get those PHATWARE threads back on the market.

 

[prophecypro]

He addressed it pretty professionally and in respect to his business partners while getting the point across that he does not agree about Trump
Dont know where you guys got the idea he was being neutral on that.

 

[prophecypro]

Also I dont know why people are saying he's not sticking his neck out on the line

If anything he and Steph Curry are showing they are above falling in line to the brand as they can be vocal and even critical about the CEO

They are argubaly the two biggest stars on the brand (at least in North America) and if this displeases that hangs over UA as their big stars could walk away if more shyt comes like this

You got a point

 

[Amor fati]

I know he doesn't like to get into race issues when it's strictly black but Trump is going at all minorities so you'd think he'd at least clapback there. I've seen white liberal celebs on social media going harder against Trump than he has.

At the same time, I wouldn't turn down those millions unless I knew Nike or Adidas has a done deal.

These White lib celebs ain't no different than republican. The Libs are passive aggressive.

What's Rock's 'community'? The entire world? Good for him. I don't give a flying shyt about any of his mom family members that you just named. I'm a fair and easy to please man. I gave him a pass for denying that he was the first black wwf champion, so now he must serve the black fan base that I believe he owes. At least send in a video. He can send a video to Instagram he can send something to NAACP.

Is that the Kaepernick knee? A form of symbolism?

We will never know the image seems cryptic. However it does look like a Kapernick knee.
