Dolphins Owner Removed From NFL ‘Social Justice’ Committee After Hosting Trump Fundraiser

The age of leftist totalitarianism – defame, destroy, obliterate. But unlike the worst totalitarians regimes, this is not state-imposed. This is your neighbor, your boss, your peer. It is everything America isn’t. People are getting mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it for long.

There is no justice, social or otherwise, on the left.

Dolphins Owner Removed From NFL ‘Social Justice’ Committee After Hosting Trump Fundraiser

By Daily Wire, August 21, 2019:

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has been pressured to step down from the NFL’s “social justice” committee, former defensive end Chris Long revealed during a Sports Illustrated interview this week.

“We just removed, or got Stephen Ross to agree to be off a working group,” Long said, boasting of the committee’s accomplishments and autonomous nature.

“Stephen made the decision last week and informed the NFL and members of the working committee that he was going to step aside from the group and continue to focus his efforts at RISE (Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality),” a Dolphins spokesperson said in a statement, according to Bleacher Report. “He believes in and is still fully committed to the work that has been done by the group and will always be a passionate supporter and tireless advocate for social justice causes, the fight for equal rights and education.”

Ross was hit with major left-wing backlash earlier this month after he hosted a fundraiser for President Donald Trump. As noted by The Daily Wire, there were calls to boycott Equinox gym and SoulCycle; Ross serves as CEO and majority owner of the brands’ parent company The Related Companies. Now, it appears, the billionaire’s political activism for Trump sparked his removal from the NFL Social Justice Initiative, too.

Learning of the news of Ross’ Trump support, Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills knocked the owner of the team, writing via Twitter, “You can’t have a non profit with this mission statement then open your doors to Trump.” Stills was referencing Ross’ nonprofit RISE.

Politico noted that Mr. Ross has been a longtime GOP donor, though “he has not been a major public supporter of Trump’s in the past.”

 Responding to the criticism, Ross issued a statement addressing his Trump support.

“I always have been an active participant in the democratic process. While some prefer to sit outside of the process and criticize, I prefer to engage directly and support the things I deeply care about,” said the businessman, according CBS Miami. “I have known Donald Trump for 40 years, and while we agree on some issues, we strongly disagree on many others and I have never been bashful about expressing my opinions.”

So…

… there were calls to boycott Equinox gym and SoulCycle; Ross serves as
CEO and majority owner of the brands’ parent company The Related
Companies. Now, it appears, the billionaire’s political activism for
Trump sparked his removal from the NFL Social Justice Initiative, too. …

Apparently not every billionaire is ‘down with the cause’ of (actual) hate, violence, supremacism, racism, and bigotry of the socialist Lefties … aka the Demokkkrats … aka the commies … aka the Progressives … aka anti-American a*wipes.

Who knew? …

Maybe Stephen Ross should start a new movement …

the Billionaire Exit

… shortened to Billionexit … or #Richtoo … or #BMoveit …

I’m sure wittier folks than I could really play with that one … but I’m serious … they could form a club … the billionaires who DON’T Hate America and DON’T Fly Private Jets to AGW Conferences club …

They could call themselves the BAAGs … Billionaires for America & against Antropogenic Global warming.

Your article starts with the statement….” The age of leftist totalitarianism…….But unlike the worst totalitarians regimes, this is not state imposed”. That is of course true. Here in the USA this totalitarianism is supported and incubated by the malignant main stream media. A much more difficult task confronts us that merely toppling some dictator. To clean up the situation requires a complete remodeling of our system of information dissemination.

Why is this “Trump supporter” interested and involved in the social justice movement in the first place? Was he involved as an advocate or as a tempering influence? “Social justice” is the left’s version of “fairness and opportunity.” The left’s version most often involves government funded (through mandatory taxation) welfare and affirmative action (legalized discrimination), banning by monopolistic big business, or shaming (of morality, patriotism, caucasian race) by the media. It ends up being “social injustice” for the rest of us. The right’s version of “fairness and opportunity” involves individual acceptance, tolerance, voluntary assistance and merit-based jobs and pay to encourage individual initiative and hard work.

The NFL sucks – cancel cable TV – stop watching this stupid BS and get a life. All major league sports owners , their league officials and sponsors plus Cable TV hate the historic American nation. Anybody who spends money cheering major league sports is donating money to leftist America hating scum.

Where is the justice in that?

Typical NFL. I was a Cowboys fan since ’60, their year of inception, but after that flag kneeling act got started, no more. I’m a veteran; I didn’t quit on them until they quit on me.

Surprisingly Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are one of just a couple teams that made it clear they would not tolerate the kneeling crap. Told his players they could hit the bricks if they knelled. But I am a MLB fan.

Pro sports are more show biz than athletic contests, they’ll all let you down. I’m a college football fan. Plus womens beach volleyball for eye candy.

Doesn’t matter anymore. The NFL has been usurped by the liberal PC crowd and therefore, THEY ARE NOW IRRELEVANT TO THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS who don’t care for that CRAP. I stopped watching when Kaepernick started kneeling. Never watched a game since. NEVER WILL, NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO OR SAY.

THE NFL IS DONE.

The fact that the NFL has a Social Justice committee(Pansy committee) is all the reasons you need to never watch them again! I left them about 13 years ago when i realized they were nothing more than a distraction for the tyrannical cabal and i loved football my entire life. If can leave them anyone can.

Just another reason why conservatives should avoid the NFL. It is quite obvious that they embrace the anti-american socialist ideology.

Just because you hear MORE about the liberals, does not mean they are winning………..they just scream the loudest, but there are fewer of them than us………remember that. WE, THE PEOPLE, those who voted and support Trump ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. Just because you don’t see us doing what the left does, does not mean we aren’t here. WE ARE. WE WERE IN 2016 AND WE WILL BE IN 2020……………just watch us!

I’m hoping and praying you do it again in 2020. I truly am! And you will never know how grateful I am that you’re NOT doing what they’re doing. I’m watching, Tom. I’m watching! 🙂

You have to love the Leftist’s logic here. You have a wealthy pro-social justice billionaire willing to invest his time and money into leftist causes, and they run him off the committee because he had dinner with someone they hate. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot…

It is amazing that no matter how much proof is given, including this excellent article, there are still some major conservative news folk who refuse to acknowledge that “conspiracies” really do exist; including Rush, Sean, Tucker etc.
As good as they are, they just plain refuse to see the reality of a well planned attack against our God, our Nation, our Liberty.

I gave up on the NFL a long time ago. Just a bunch of spoiled brats getting paid a whole lot of money to play a game. Now they’re going to try and tell us how we should live our lives.? I hope this blows up in their faces.
