Fed Up With 'Fluff,' Dolphins Will Skip Anthems

Sep 11, 2020 10:54 AM

The Miami Dolphins have decided to stay inside during both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing" during the 2020 NFL season.

The team issued a statement Thursday demanding action rather than symbolic gestures in the fight against social and racial injustice and police brutality.

"This attempt to unify only creates more divide. So we'll skip this song and dance, and as a team we'll stay inside," several Dolphins players combined to say in a 2-minute, 17-second video. "We need changed hearts, not just a response to pressure. Enough, no more fluff and empty gestures. We need owners with influence and pockets bigger than ours to call up officials and flex political power."

In the video, 18 Dolphins players -- both Black and white -- proclaim they are fed up with "empty gestures" being the result of the current movement for change, and demand that team owners get actively involved in creating political and legislative change.

Dolphins Taking Trade Offers On Josh Rosen

Sep 3, 2020 5:03 PM

The Miami Dolphins are fielding trade inquiries on Josh Rosen.

Rosen was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 and then traded to the Dolphins in 2019 when they selected Kyler Murray first overall.

Rosen is likely to be behind both Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tua Tagovailoa on the depth chart at quarterback. 

Rosen started three games last season before being benched for Fitzpatrick for the rest of the year.
