Colin Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback was booed when he  played on Sunday in Miami, after his remarks that sighted a support for the former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

NFL player Kaepernick, the similar player who declined to stand for the playing of the national anthem of America at each game since he thinks that the United States is a racist country. Miami is also a huge home to a group of Cuban exiles, and they were shocked by Kaepernick's statement that supports the man that they believe is a brutal dictator, the now late, Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Kaepernick was interviewed by Miami reporters after that game, and Kaepernick justified that it was his choice to wear the T-shirt that showed Castro and Malcolm X, which is a long-time African-American leader and activist who was killed in 1965. According to the Miami Herald, he quoted, "One thing Fidel Castro did do is they have the highest literacy rate because they invest more in their education system than they do in their prison system, which we do not do here even though we're fully capable of doing that."

"I would hope that everybody agrees those things are good things. And trying to push the false narrative that I was a supporter of the oppressive things that he did is just not true," Colin added.

Earlier this month, Kaepernick also got plenty of recrimination. He did not even submit a vote in the 2016 election, as he mentioned that it would be "hypocritical" of him to cast a ballot. Surprisingly, Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem this year which after that, he got a lot of adverse reaction recently this month.

Last Sunday's game, it was the 10th consecutive defeat for the San Francisco 49ers, the worst record in its history.
