MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Kenny Stills emotionally stood his ground in the postgame locker room on Thursday, expounding upon his bewilderment at how Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross could claim a duality of hosting a fundraiser for President Donald Trump at his home and fighting for equality and against racism through his RISE foundation.
The Dolphins' 34-27 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in their preseason opener became a footnote in comparison to Stills making a continued strong stand for what he believes in -- even if it calls out his boss.
"Someone has to have enough courage to let him know he can't play both sides of this," Stills said of Ross Thursday night.
