MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Colin Kaepernick began Sunday's game to a thunderclap of boos from the South Florida crowd and ended it defending his views on one of the most despised figures in this area, Fidel Castro.
Earlier this year the 49ers quarterback wore a t-shirt that depicted a meeting one of his idols, Malcolm X, had with Castro, the former Cuban strong man, in New York in 1960. Castro died earlier this week at age 90, two days after Kaepernick was asked about Castro during a conference call with Miami area reporters.
The Miami Herald ran a column on Saturday saying that Kaepernick, who has protested oppression in this country, was being hypocritical.
