San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who caused a controversy early this season by wearing a T-shirt that contained an image of Fidel Castro, praised Castro’s educational system in a heated conference call with the South Florida media Wednesday.
Kaepernick began a national debate in September when he refused to stand for the national anthem to protest inequality and oppression in America. Kaepernick, whose 49ers play the Dolphins on Sunday, continues to kneel during the anthem.
When pressed about the shirt, Kaepernick first pointed out that Malcolm X also was pictured. Kaepernick said he supports Malcolm X and his willingness to be “open-minded” before forming his own views of the world. Part of that open-mindedness, he said, was meeting with the Cuban leader.

A Miami reporter from a Cuban exile family calls Kaepernick on it.
He should go play in the CubanFL.
He should also go himself a better education.
Continuing his BS and ratings continue to go down! Thank me! I continue my boycott of the NFL!
Castro took Cuba in 1959, which was the third richest country per capita in the Western Hemisphere, to the second poorest (only after Haiti) in 2016. Quite an accomplishment. Donate your millions to Cuba, Keapernick and get out of this country you so despise.
He doesn’t vote and idolizes Communists.
His Dad abandoned him (surprise) and his Mom thankfully gave him up for adoption rather than abort him.
An upper middle-class white family adopted him.
Goes to the NFL and becomes a high-paid QB.
Takes a dump on all of that and wants to be a commie.
You can't make this up.
I think he is tired of having to perform for his pay and is looking to get fired so he can still collect without having to do anything.
This dude is the first person I think of when considering the value of education.
I hope he keeps talking. He so abysmally stupid, he’s a discredit to side.
What an ungrateful ingrate...wonder if he’s going home for Thanksgiving?
His handlers will eventually realize that he is costing them big money and they will fire his butt.
I have not watches a single football game this year.

Agreed. He's stupid beyond belief.
If we don’t Change the 1965 immigration act and deport a lot of illegals then this Kapernik commie moron could be our next president as 3rd world immigrants will have us outnumbered in 2020 as happened in California.
Colin Kaepernick is an excellent example of how celebrity worship is a sign of a culture in decline. If this man did not have some athletic skill and did not receive constant publicity, he would be just another pathetic, delusional troubled fool with limited intelligence and bizarre beliefs. Yet because he receives constant attention, the vapid among us, who are all too numerous, listen and are enthralled. Neither Kaepernick, nor his fans, have the capacity to understand the blood on Castro’s hands, how he destroyed Cuba, and the disaster communism and socialism has been for humanity. Yet rational people should never forget just how close Kaepernick’s ilk came to consolidating power in this country.
I would suggest next time he needs medical services, he fly to Cuba and take advantage of their world case healthcare...
Hope he brings his own clean sheets, own medicine, own personal hygiene products..
Among many other things...
Commies love them some Castro. Castro is the man who has done all the things Trump is accused of wanting to do, yet they praise him like their he’s their Cuban Jesus.
That girlfriend sure has messed him up - bigly.
