Colin Kaepernick said comments he made about Fidel Castro, perceived as support for the controversial late Cuban president, were taken "completely out of context" in the lead-up to Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.
Boos rained down on the San Francisco 49ers quarterback during pre-game introductions at Hard Rock Stadium, a common occurrence at road games in the aftermath of season-long national anthem protests. Afterward, Kaepernick was asked to clear the air about a tense exchange with a reporter Wednesday in which he spoke favorably of some Cuban policies under Castro's communist regime.
"What I said was I agree with the investment into education," he told reporters after a 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.
