With the 49ers visiting the Dolphins this week, San Francisco’s Colin Kaepernick engaged in a conference call with members of the South Florida media. However, one reporter wanted to discuss something that happened in August, when Kaepernick wore a shirt that appeared to show support for Fidel Castro, which led to a tense exchange.

I wonder if Kaep understands that if he were a Cuban citizen he’d be earning a wage just enough to keep him alive, not the $61 million guaranteed contract he currently has.

Or that he understands that he wouldn’t be allowed to leave the island of his own volition — that he’d be a prisoner.

Or that he understands that publicly expressing an opinion critical of the Cuban gov’t invariably leads to dire consequences.

And that castro and che hated blacks.


Nah, the ignoramus Anti American understands none of this.

I don't think he understands much of anything.

He just wants to keep his name out there for something other than his playing.

It will of course back fire on him, but that is Ok.

Trump did that (said dumb stuff), according to many millions, and he is now the president. ;)

I will bet that his UNLV business degree taught him that much - name recognition is $$$.
 
Kapernick is a ****ing jackass and a disgrace. He is stupid enough to think he is doing the right thing.
 
How stupid do you have to be to piss-n-moan about government oppression and then show up in public with a Fidel Castro shirt?

What are the 49ers thinking? Why isn't someone keeping an eye on this ****ing idiot? Where's his agent?
 
I believe Kaepernick is convinced he's down with the struggle, and it's cool. I don't think he's capable of thinking beyond that. Maybe he's feeling guilty over being paid tons more than he's worth, too. If I was being paid what he's being paid, and if I performed the way he's performed, I'd be looking over my shoulder. I'd have the feeling that the end of my football career was catching up with me fast.

It was wrong. Just like wearing a Fidel Castro shirt is wrong. But I'm not suprised you think that it's okay T-72. I bet you hav s a closet full of Ho Chi Minh gear, one of those idiotic Che t-shirts, etc.....

I am a life long 9ers fan. I cant stand Kapernik. Taking a knee was bad enough. Wanting things to improve is great. How he is addressing it and displaying himself is a disgrace to humanity.

He is a deluded vegan hippy retro-wannabe dip****... 49ers need to boot his ass.

Not to completely change the subject however he's a very good quarterback ever since being inserted back as a starter.

Perhaps. I haven't watched him. He hasn't performed well in a couple of years - certainly no where near what the value of his contract would lead one to expect.
