Cuban-American Kiko Alonso: ‘There was some bad blood’ between me and Colin Kaepernick

Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso, whose father is a Cuban exile, said after Sunday’s win over the 49ers that he and quarterback Colin Kaepernick had “some bad blood” in light of his recent comments about Fidel Castro.

Kaepernick came under fire this week for defending Castro, the Cuban dictator who died Friday. He was probed about a t-shirt he wore back in August which featured Castro and Malcom X, and while he said he was “not talking about Fidel Castro and his oppression,” he said that Castro put emphasis on education and healthcare, which he appreciated.
