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. Ross is neither, of course. By NFL owner standards, which admittedly are modest, Ross actually is top-tier in terms of his views on social justice and racial inequality -- out front on the issues that gave us Colin Kaepernick and players kneeling during the national anthem.
What Ross is is a man caught in the middle, just like his league. He founded the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality (RISE); his heart is where it should be.
