MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores passionately defended his decision to play eight consecutive Jay-Z songs during Tuesday's practice just one day after receiver Kenny Stills expressed disdain about the way the hip-hop mogul went about his social justice partnership with the NFL.
As word of the stunt percolated throughout social media and the internet, many speculated on Flores' motives for seemingly trolling one of his veteran players. Thursday, after the Dolphins' 22-7 preseason win over the Jaguars, Flores was emotional in explaining his reasons behind the action. He said the criticism about whether he supports what Stills stands for is without merit.
