MIAMI (CBSMiami) – As the 2019 Miami Dolphins took the field for the first time in a preseason game Thursday, CBS4 asked several fans about reports that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is hosting a major fundraiser for President Donald Trump in the Hamptons on Friday.
The responses were nearly universal.
“I just think politics don’t belong in football,” said Mike Holliday.
“I like to keep my sports and politics separate,” said Tony Griswold.
“Whatever people decide to do, let them do it,” said Alex Delancy. “I don’t think it’s a problem.”
A day earlier, Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills criticized Ross on social media, saying it was hypocritical of the owner to create an organization called ‘RISE,’ that works to eliminate racial discrimination, yet also support President Trump.
