Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills attacked team owner Stephen Ross over his plans to host a fundraiser for President Donald Trump.
Ross plans to host a fundraiser for Trump over the weekend at his home in the Hamptons.
“You can’t have a nonprofit with this mission statement [and] then open your doors to Trump,” Stills tweeted Wednesday, according to ESPN.com. (RELATED: Megan Rapinoe Gets Book Deal Following World Cup Win)

Stills has also been active in various political and social causes.

On the field, Stills has put together a solid career, amassing 259 catches for 4,138 yards and 32 touchdowns throughout his six-year career in the NFL.
