How can a stadium full of miami citizens boo the crap out of kaepernick but vote 60-30 for hillary clinton?
Cubans didn't. Most Florida natives didn't... You can thank the transplants and other minorities.

One of the Dolphins defenders in on the game-saving tackle of Kaepernick was linebacker Kiko Alonso, whose father was born in Cuba and fled the Castro regime.

Why does Kaepernick hate gays?

I wish Obama would send Kaepernick to Cuba to honor the death of Castro. Fitting that he could travel in a fifties model Ford or Chevy. Maybe he would get the opportunity to benefit from their modern medical facilities.

Free agency and retirements killed them.
A lack of leadership probably didn't help either, as they underachieved before and after Harbaugh but typically not while he was there.

Does he identify as Cuban American since only his Father is Cuban?
Maybe Alonso should be more upset that his Father fled Cuba rather than fight for it like Castro/Che?
Easy to hop an inner tube & swear at Castro from the safety of a Miami cafe.

If the poli board wants to play that game & call Syrians 'cowards' or other demeaning terms for leaving a much ,much worse fate in Syria then.....
Fleeing Cubans should be fair game here as well?

I'm sure he's more content being a millionaire in a free society than having never been born, since his dad probably would have been another executed statistic at the hands of a bunch of murderous thugs. You're pathetic. Can you believe those Syrian cowards, fleeing for the luxuries of the United States instead of fighting for their country? A little genocide never hurt anyone!

I'm thinking this guy wants to get his arse kicked. That's like going to Tuscaloosa and publicly speaking ill of the Bear in front of 100,000+ at Bryant Denney.

Exactly . I hope you point out Cuban Americans fleeing when this board craps on poor Syrians fleeing.
Maybe a bit more sympathy for Syrians should be expected.
My point has been made about the double standard here.

Loved that.

I believe that I read that Alonso's dad was a refugee from Castro's Cuba.

I find it amazing that a millionaire constantly complains about how bad HE is being treated by a country/system that allowed him to become a millionaire.

And you successfully created your own. Good job, buddy.

You're not entirely off base, but I think many people are weary of taking in refugees from Syria and surrounding regions without any careful vetting given ISIS's tactics of disguising sleeper cells. I agree there's some hypocrisy at play, but there is also a distinction between refugees coming directly from Syrian war zones and economic migrants coming in droves from other countries being called 'refugees' as well.

Your point is horrible. Some distinctions:
Cubans who fled the revolution in 1959 were property owners whose lands and businesses were confiscated by the new communist dictatorship. Syrians are poor, uneducated, unskilled wards of the state.
Cubans who fled were Catholic. It's a religion that does not seek to take over the secular govt. Syrians are Muslims who believe in Sharia law and all of the anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-freedom tenets of the Koran.
Cubans are not terrorists. Syrians are.
