Politics in play Dolphins wonder what’s next after day of drama.

DAVIE — Miami Dolphins wide receiver Drew Morgan was among the dozen or so Miami players who wore the “#ImwithKap” T-shirt during pre-game warm-ups Sunday. Although the vast majority of Dolphins players, chose not to wear the shirt, Morgan, who is white, wore it without a second thought. Morgan and his colleagues heard about it from the fans at MetLife Stadium prior to the game against the New York Jets.

“Oh, yeah,” said Morgan, an undrafted rookie from Arkansas who is on the 10-man practice squad. “You heard them.” And, yes, it was bad stuff. “Man, if I could tell you I would,” Morgan said about the comments fans yelled.

“Some of it would be bleeped out. Other words for women’s body parts. I don’t want to say them. Just foul words. Could hurt a very weak person.”

Around the NFL, Monday is usually a cleanup day of sorts. Normally the questions regard wins and losses, and the reasons for those wins and losses.

And certainly that was the case at the Dolphins’ training facility as the Dolphins (1-1) prepare to play New Orleans (1-2) in London on Sunday.

But on this Monday, the football questions were frequently wrapped around

President Donald Trump’s controversial comments and tweets from the weekend, in part saying he wishes owners would “fire” players who protest the national anthem, and the NFL’s reactions on Sunday.

Players wondered what’s next.

“You can’t do something and have no action behind it,” said guard Jermon Bushrod, who was among the Dolphins wearing the “#ImwithKap” T-shirt.

“Now we have to figure out what’s the next step? What are we going to do? As

a professional, you have to get ready for next week. We have our job to do. We have an obligation to do. If there’s something heavy on your heart, you also have to do what you feel like is right.”

Dolphins owner Steve Ross knows his next step. His RISE (Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality) program is starting a yearlong national voter registration campaign for pro athletes beginning Tuesday. RISE, with the assistance of Martin Luther King III, has already had a voter registration campaign among the Dolphins, the Atlanta Falcons and the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets.

Now the campaign is going

national.

“Voting is more than just your right; it is your voice, your participation in our democracy and your contribution to a civil society. It is your chance to make a better world,” King said. “As my father often stated, ‘A vote-less people is a powerless people.’ And the most important step that we can take is that short step to the ballot box.”

As for the national anthem displays, players seemed to favor most of them.

Dolphins tackle Sam Young and linebacker Mike Hull, who are both white, joined their teammates in locking arms with each

other and Ross during the national anthem. Young called locking arms “a wonderful display of unity.”

But Young and Hull chose not to wear the Tshirt or kneel during the anthem.

“Obviously I can’t speak for the guys that kneeled,” Hull said. “Everyone has a right to their own opinion. A lot of people have been through a lot of things different than myself so I can’t really talk about them.

“But for us locking arms we just wanted to show no matter what’s going on in the league and in this country we’re going to stand together, we’re going to support one another as a team, and we’re going to move forward as an organization.”

Mike Wahle, the Dolphins’ assistant strength and conditioning coach, who is white, played guard for 11 years in the NFL, and attended the United States Naval Academy, also wore the T-shirt pre-game.

Morgan jumped at the chance to wear the T-shirt.

“I didn’t think about it at all,” he said. “If it involves my colleagues, I’m going to support them. I support the NFL in anything they do. I support my teammates..”

Morgan, who has family members in the Air Force, said it wasn’t a tough choice to wear the T-shirt.

“Like I said, you’re my brother and I’m your brother, and we’re all sons of God,” he said. “It says it in Galatians. It’s in the Bible. And if everybody feels like they have to choose a side, my advice is, read the Bible. Google it. It says. Google it. It’s right there.”

As for football matters, the Dolphins seem ready to move on to the Saints game, not politics.

“I’m really not worried about the President’s comments and all that’s going on right now,” safety Reshad Jones said. “I’m here to play football and help the Miami Dolphins win football games.”
