According to the Post, tickets for Ross’s fundraiser, which will reportedly be held in The Hamptons in New York on Friday,  are $100,000 for a photo opportunity and lunch, and $250,000 for a package that includes a private roundtable discussion with Trump. 

A media contact for the Dolphins did not immediately return HuffPost’s request for comment. 

Ross is also the founder and chairman of Related Companies, a real estate firmbehind the developmentof the Hudson Yards, and the owner of brands including Equinox fitness clubs, Equinox hotels and SoulCycle. 

The Dolphins, Equinox and SoulCycle have comeunder scrutiny on social mediasince Stills’ post Wednesday. Many on Twitter shared the football player’s apparent sentiment that Trump’spoliciesandpublic racist statementshave actively hurt marginalized communities. 

Stills, 27, has been outspoken about social justice issues and has continued to kneelduring the national anthem at NFL games to protest all forms of racial injustice long after Colin Kaepernick’s last season. Kaepernick started the peaceful protests at NFL games in 2016.

Trump has been a vocal critic of NFL players who protest social injustice at games. In 2017, the president referred to them assons of bitchesat a rally in Alabama.
