Kenny Stills, NFL Player, Calls Out His Team’s Owner for Hosting a Trump Fundraiser
| revcom.us
From a reader:
Kenny Stills, wide receiver for the NFL (National Football League) Miami Dolphins, continued to take a knee during the national anthem at last week’s first pre-season game. Earlier in the week he criticized the Dolphins’ owner, Stephen Ross, for hosting a $250,000 per person fundraiser for Donald Trump.
Stills called out Ross, who runs a nonprofit organization that promotes sports equality—RISE, Ross Initiative in Sports Equality. Stills tweeted out, “You can’t have a non profit with this mission statement when you open your doors to Trump.”
Stills reported that he has received death threats after he called out Ross.
Stills may be the only NFL player left who continues to take a knee during the anthem in support of Colin Kaepernick, who was the first player to take a knee during the anthem in 2016 to protest police murder of and brutality against Black people.
After Stills took a knee at last week’s game, Kaepernick tweeted out, “My Brother @KSTiLLS continues to show his courage, morality, resilience and continues to take a knee!!! Keep going strong Brother!!!”

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
