The San Francisco 49ers dropped their tenth straight game on Sunday, losing 31-24 to the Miami Dolphins. Colin Kaepernick had a big game, but the focus of his post-game press conference was his earlier discussion with a Dolphins beat writer.
Kaepernick got into an exchange with Armando Salguero regarding Kaepernick’s decision to wear a t-shirt back in August featuring Malcolm X and Fidel Castro. Salguero was born in Cuba and moved to the United States as a kid. He raised the many issues surrounding Castro’s oppressive regime. Kaepernick wanted to focus on Malcolm X, but when pressed by Salguero, he pointed out Cuba’s investment in education and universal health care.
