Kenny Stills tells Miami Dolphins owner: You can't play both sides in the fight against racism
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills kneels during the national anthem before the team's preseason NFL football game against the Atlanta Falcons

MIAMI DOLPHINS wide receiver Kenny Stills played down any “beef” between him and owner Stephen Ross regarding the hosting of a fundraiser Donald Trump.

Stills, who continued his protest against the US national anthem by kneeling prior to the pre-season win over the Atlanta Falcons, pointed out to Ross on Wednesday via social media that he cannot claim to fight for racial equality, via his Rise foundation, and support a racist president.

The 27-year-old took offence to the event which will see guests pay $250,000 for a lunch, photo and private roundtable with the US president.
