MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The complicated legacy of Fidel Castro is making its mark on the sports world.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was back in the headlines this week for wearing a t-shirt that featured a photo of Castro.
He also defended Castro’s Cuba in an argument with a longtime Miami Herald reporter.
Kaepernick and the 49ers will be in Miami on Sunday for a battle with the Dolphins.
Earlier this year Kaepernick made headlines by kneeling during the national anthem before a 49ers game.
He said he was protesting racial injustice in the United States.
