Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores told reporters following his team's 22-7 preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday that he supports wide receiver Kenny Stills' ongoing protests against systemic oppression.
Cameron WolfeBrian Flores was emotional and surprised story became big. He said Stills wasn’t playing up to his standard and he used this as opportunity to challenge him. “I’m the son of immigrants. I’m black. I grew up poor... Everything these guys have protested, I’ve lived it.” https://t.co/ouV3oIIJFO
The comments came in light of Stills criticizing Jay-Z and Roc Nation for its entertainment and social justice partnership with the NFL despite San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's continued NFL absence.
