Stephen Ross attempted to clarify his comments about how the Miami Dolphins players would stand during the national anthem next season.

Ross told the New York Daily News on Monday that "all of our players will be standing" in 2018.

Ross released a statement on Tuesday indicating he believed his comments were misconstrued. 

"I've shared my opinion with all our players: I'm passionate about the cause of social justice and I feel that kneeling is an ineffective tactic that alienates more people than it enlists," Ross said.
