Hide the microphones from Ross

“Miami is a great city. It's not a great sports town," Ross said.

Ross initially supported the players taking a knee because “it's America and people should be able to really speak about their choices.”

Miami Dolphins players no longer will be permitted to kneel during the National Anthem, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said Monday at an event in New York.

“All of our players will be standing," Ross told the New York Daily News

Ross wrote:Winning solves all solutions.

ross puts his foot in his mouth just about every time he opens it.

Please do us all a favor, SELL THE TEAM.

Couldn't get much worse, could it?

They should browbeat Ross about his opinions about black people, women, any minorities, mentally handicapped, pay inequality, transgender pronouns, homosexual marriage, gun control laws, abortion, flat earth theory just FUCKING ANYTHING HE CAN SAY TO GET HIM IN SUCH A SOCIAL PARIAH HOLE THAT THE NFL FORCES HIM TO SELL THE TEAM.

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is a hypocrite and a “two-faced con artist,” according to a columnist in the New York Daily News this week.

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was the latest NFL owner to be deposed in the Colin Kaepernick grievance, less than two months after Ross tied the league’s thought process on player protests to the political saber-rattling of President Donald Trump.

While the substance of Ross’ deposition is sealed, it’s believed the proceedings were aimed at dissecting recorded statements Ross made to the New York Daily News in early March in which he indicated the NFL’s perspective on players kneeling during the national anthem was directly influenced by Trump. Specifically, Ross was recorded saying that his personal view on kneeling as a form of protest against racial and social injustice changed in relation to Trump’s framing of the act as being anti-military. On its face, such an admission could provide Kaepernick’s legal team with a solid foundation in efforts to prove Trump directly influenced the quarterback’s employment status.

As Ross told the Daily News in March, “I think initially I totally supported the players in what they were doing, because it’s America – people should be able to really speak about their choices and show them [in] doing that. But I think when you change the message, about, is it support of our country or the military, it’s a different message. When that message changed, and everybody was interpreting it as that was the reason, then I was against the kneeling.”

“[Trump’s] message became what kneeling was all about,” Ross continued. “From that standpoint, that’s the way the public is interpreting it. So I think that’s really incumbent upon us to adopt that, because that’s how I think the country is now interpreting the kneeling issue.”

If Kaepernick’s lawyers are building their case to prove Trump had influence over the NFL, Ross’ statement is arguably the most unambiguous that any owner had made in that regard.

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross in October reportedly proposed that NFL players and owners take part in a "march on Washington" while at a summit with players, league executives and owners at league headquarters in New York.
