Last season, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was one of the players who protested during the national anthem.
On Tuesday night, Stills went on a Twitter rant and called for players who aren’t protesting to fight racial inequality, police brutality and the NFL’s stance on former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Why aren't more players speaking up or protesting? Do you not believe there's a problem? Do you not believe you can create change?

Why hasn't the league ever released a statement condemning the unarmed shootings of our people? The league could've easily written a…

positive narrative about Kap and what he started. They chose to stay neutral. Why is that?

How can we expect the league to care about something we're not showing we care about?

While Stills said he won’t kneel as a way of protesting during the 2017-18 season, he doesn’t understand why more NFL players aren’t speaking out.
“I just felt like, we’re getting more attention for our protests than we were for the actual work we were doing,” Stills told Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald back in August. “Now, we need to focus on action, and I feel like I’ve done a lot of that last year. I’ve done everything I can here in this community and I’ll continue to do that this year.”
Stills, who is no stranger to being an active member of the community, was the winner of the Dolphins’ Nat Moore Community Service Award last year for his efforts.
