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.
