South Florida police unions urge members to return Dolphins tickets

At least two South Florida police associations are backing out of a Miami Dolphins ticket program after two players kneeled during the national anthem on Thursday.
The Broward County Police Benevolent Association and Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association released similar statements Friday, urging their members to "no longer participate" in a ticket program with the Dolphins after receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson protested during the anthem.
Stills has been a vocal supporter of Colin Kaepernick and those that fight against social injustice, and he also met with police last year at the height of anthem debate furor to foster relations between players and law enforcement.
