It's well established that I think Colin Kaepernick is an idiot for protesting the national anthem, but even I was shocked when I saw his wardrobe choice after the San Francisco 49er game where he chose not to stand up for the national anthem. To refresh your memories, here is what Kaepernick said after that game:
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
So instead Kaepernick decided to roll into his post game press conference after disrespecting America in a shirt endorsing Fidel Castro, a man who has committed more human rights violations in his life than any other living person in North or South America. A man responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people of all races.

I guess he’s also unaware of the treatment of blacks under Castro. Maybe he should research Che Guevara’s thoughts on the subject as well before he starts sporting one of those shirts.

All lives matter. So much going on in this world today.Can we all just get along! Colin,I respect your stance but don’t disrespect the Flag.
Uh oh, Jerry is going to be called an “Uncle Tom” now.
So .. does Colin have plans to have Cuba pay him $19 MILLION dollars to sit on his rear-end ..????
He is one completely clueless and confused person.
[ So much for being traded to Miami. ]
We should trade him to Havanna....
And the left has won another convert. Idiots one and all.
He rejects the country that made him rich for a violent dictator who made his people poor.
Why does anyone respect his stance? It’s a falsehood, a lie, maybe Jerry Rice needs to point that out.
Turn the Chargers defense loose this Thursday — Let the big dawgs eat....I hope they sack him all night long...shut his stupid F’n mouth on the field, leave him in a heaping pile. Maybe, just maybe a couple of the 9ers O linemen will miss their blocks “on accident” and give a couple of Charger defensive linemen a free shot at his smug a$$!!!
That would be karma.
One would think that by working for an organization that calls itself the NATIONAL Football League, the employees would all understand that there is an expectation that they stand for the NATIONAL anthem and generally support the NATION.
The NFL is going to regret this episode.
I won’t be the only one who has turned away.
LOL! Bingo
This idiot wouldn’t know oppression if it walked up and slapped him.
Adopted and raised by white parents, located and talked up by probably white scouts, signed by a white owned team and a white run NFL, never lived in a black ghetto, never went to a black ghetto school, probably can’t tell you a thing about what MLK was really all about...
Send the dumbass to Cuba. He doesn’t like it here,he’s free to go anywhere he wants. Cuba sounds good, Venezuela probably has lots of available real estate, Syria too and he’d fit right in he’s Muslim...
Nobody is forcing him to stay in a country with a flag and national anthem he doesn’t like or respect, hand him a one way ticket to Syria. Or Egypt. I can think of a half dozen places he would find out what oppression is really like. Africa would be good.
Boycott all the 49er games.
Stop funding the NFL until they crack down on this idiotic behavior.
Let him fly a plane into the tallest building in Havana. What would that be?
Jerry, you 'respect' his stance. His stance!?? He is not stancing for anything. He is acting like a fool and you should not get yourself involved with nonsense such as this, Jerry.
That’s it!! Nobody should pay a dime to go see this communist bastard play. Or anyone else who joins in his protest.
Have you been to Miami lately. It IS Havana. In fact it’s been called “Little Havana” for years and years.
