While in Miami of all places, Kaepernick wore a T-shirt with Fidel Castro's picture on it to a press conference. When asked to defend wearing a Castro T-shirt, Kaepernick shows his ignorance of Castro's Cuban oppression. This article was written by a Cuban exile, Armando Salguero, who covers the Miami Dolphins for the Miami Herald. It was published before Castro's death was announced. Whatever sympathy I had for Kaepernick is gone after reading Salguero's exchange with Kaepernick at the press conference. The headline of his story is
Unrepentant hypocrite Colin Kaepernick defends Fidel Castro

 
I admittedly had little respect for Colin Kaepernick before reading this article.... but what little I may have had is totally out the window.

I wish nothing but bad on this useless piece of shyte. I hope he gets concussed into oblivian. So tired of stupid mutherfvckers spouting their total nonsense unopposed.

From my perspective, glad Castro is dead. Wish Kaepernick would join him.

This pretty much sums up the mentality of zealots:
Because in the next breath, Kaepernick, born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, explains to me, the guy born in Havana, how great Castro really is.

Funny CK says that he admires malcom x's open mindedness in speaking to castro meanwhile he completely shuts down any thought regyarding Salguero's experiences.
He's not actually smart. A good amount of people could probably get a good gpa just memorizing and regurgitating (as ck has obviously done with castro propaganda).Smart means you can think and reason and draw your own conclusions based on information.
 
And, as an aside -

Fidel Castro: Dead (finally) at age 90

So is Franco Harris:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...er-penn-state-alums-appalled-by-deandre-levy/

Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy said recently that he wasn’t serious when he called breaking the late Joe Paterno’s leg in a sideline collision his proudest moment in football, but not when he called the former Penn State football coach a “dirtbag.”

In a column for the Detroit Free Press, Levy, who played for Wisconsin when he ran into Paterno, wrote that “any person or institution, Joe Paterno included, that turns away from or fails to act against sexual assault is a ‘dirtbag.’ Paterno was the head coach at Penn State when Jerry Sandusky abused children during and after his time as an assistant coach at the school and multiple people testified that they made Paterno and others involved with the program aware of Sandusky’s actions without any action being taken.

In an email to the paper, 21 players who played for Paterno at Penn State, including Pro Football Hall of Famer Franco Harris, responded to Levy’s column and earlier comments.

“We find the recent statement by DeAndre Levy about Coach Paterno appalling, along with the silence that has accompanied it. To joyfully and proudly take credit for hurting a defenseless human being is sad, in and of itself. But, to couple this gleeful statement with a willful ignorance of the facts and circumstances surrounding our coach speaks to a complete lack of character and moral integrity on the part of Mr. Levy. Mr. Levy’s comments reflect poorly on him, his university, the Detroit Lions and the NFL, and are certainly deserving of vocal condemnation.”

Lions coach Jim Caldwell worked for Paterno as an assistant from 1986-1992 and said he disagrees with Levy’s assessment of the man but not his right not share it.
 
O'bama is a piece of work as well:

At this time of Fidel Castro’s passing, we extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people. We know that this moment fills Cubans - in Cuba and in the United States - with powerful emotions, recalling the countless ways in which Fidel Castro altered the course of individual lives, families, and of the Cuban nation. History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him. wth?

‎For nearly six decades, the relationship between the United States and Cuba was marked by discord and profound political disagreements. During my presidency, we have worked hard to put the past behind us, pursuing a future in which the relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things that we share as neighbors and friends - bonds of family, culture, commerce, and common humanity. This engagement includes the contributions of Cuban Americans, who have done so much for our country and who care deeply about their loved ones in Cuba.

Today, we offer condolences to Fidel Castro’s family, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Cuban people. In the days ahead, they will recall the past and also look to the future. As they do, the Cuban people must know that they have a friend and partner in the United States of America.


And as usual calling a spade a spade, here is Trump's response:

Today, the world marks the passing of a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades. Fidel Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.

While Cuba remains a totalitarian island, it is my hope that today marks a move away from the horrors endured for too long, and toward a future in which the wonderful Cuban people finally live in the freedom they so richly deserve.

Though the tragedies, deaths and pain caused by Fidel Castro cannot be erased, our administration will do all it can to ensure the Cuban people can finally begin their journey toward prosperity and liberty. I join the many Cuban Americans who supported me so greatly in the presidential campaign, including the Brigade 2506 Veterans Association that endorsed me, with the hope of one day soon seeing a free Cuba.”
 
I read that as a polite way of saying go to hell. "History will record and judge" says we'll see. But I got nothing good to say. "Enormous Impact" can be positive or negative. And I'm inferring HUGE NEGATIVE.


While the hand of friendship goes out to Cupan people, not Cuba as a nation.


I'm always all over Obama, but I think he's being discreet.

Canada's Justin Trudeau.....

Full statement from PMO:
"It is with deep sorrow that I learned today of the death of Cuba’s longest serving President.
"Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation.
"While a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro’s supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for "el Comandante".
"I know my father was very proud to call him a friend and I had the opportunity to meet Fidel when my father passed away. It was also a real honour to meet his three sons and his brother President Raúl Castro during my recent visit to Cuba.
"On behalf of all Canadians, Sophie and I offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends and many, many supporters of Mr. Castro. We join the people of Cuba today in mourning the loss of this remarkable leader."


This is scary stuff folks. Progressives loved Castro. They admired his ability and willingness to castrate his own country in the brutal name of progressivism, socialism, communism.

The political left has become Orwell's 1984.

What the whattity what??? Is Trudeau stupid, or just glaringly lacking in historical awareness?

Why you all hating on Castro? He was just doing what was in the best interests of the team. --- Belichick
 
I finally agree with a Trump position - today he said all Castro ever did for Cuba was "firing squads and misery" - I can't agree more.
