Professional ballet dancer Misty Copeland and wrestler turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson joined NBA star Steph Curry in opposing comments made by the chief executive of their sponsor Under Armour supporting US President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, Kevin Plank expressed support for Trump on CNBC, saying: "To have such a pro-business president is something that is a real asset for the country."
On Thursday, Copeland wrote on her Instagram page that she strongly disagrees with Plank's recent comments in support of Trump.
Johnson on Twitter also posted that Plank's words on CNBC were neither his words or his beliefs.
But he added that his disagreement does not mean he will be abandoning Under Armour, with which he currently has a shoe line.
Copeland and Johnson join a number of athletes including Curry to speak out against Trump.
In an interview with The San Jose Mercury News on Wednesday, Curry, one of Under Armour's most-visible athletes, said: "I agree with that description (of asset made by Plank), if you remove the 'et'."
A number of NBA players including Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James, who is endorsed by Nike Inc, have recently expressed concerns over Trump's policies.
But Curry is the first player to directly oppose comments made by their sponsor.
Curry endorsed Hilary Clinton, Trump's Democrat opponent, in the November 8 election.
