And at this point, he's been out of the league for far too long for any team to even care about offering a tryout. He's moved on, we all should too.

Secondly, in regards to your second bolded point, you are absolutely part of the problem. Calling anti-police sentiment amongst disenfranchised black americans "radical left wing anti American sentiment" is absolutely de-legitimatizing their cause, which is being racially profiled by police in every city they live in. By saying it's radical anti American nonsense you are basically shitting on black America. Just because there's a small percentage of the black community that wants to use BLM as an excuse to cause chaos doesn't mean they all want to. It's the equivalent of me saying all Republicans are racist, just because a small percentage of them are.

Some people had a real issue with his stance and comments that seemed to defend the murderous dictator, oppressor, torturer Fidel Castro.

You seem to have left that part out.

To be fair he never made a single statement defending murders, torture, or oppression even though you are trying to turn it into that. He wore a shirt with castro and malcolm x on it. He originally said it had nothing to do with Castro just X. Than he tried to say well he agrees with Cubas education system and other parts of their society under Castro. He obviously was not too well versed in Castros history of such atrocities, and was trying to cover up for his ignorance. But please let’s not throw gasoline on the “he defends hateful acts of murder by Castro” fire.

The shirt said like minds think alike.

He couldn't find an x shirt without a murderous dictator?

If he was ignorant he should have said it instead of pointing out the fake literacy rates of the island prison.

But that's not what he said:

How is this different than Marge Shott saying Hitler started out good and went too far?

I never said it was a bright move, like I said it /he was ignorant to not see the hypocrisy.
Sounds like you think it is much more cynical than that?
Im not sure I get your point.

No one can really know how cynical he was being versus ignorance.

I do think he is a really sharp guy and he pays attention to issues, so it is hard to believe he could be that dumb or ignorant but who knows.

I agree though, the reason he wasn't playing was he want good enough to carry all the baggage.

Exactly how many times have you seen ignorant people say "I am ignorant"?

Frankly, a ton. The last one I can think of was the astronaut on Twitter talking about Churchill.

If he was ignorant at the time he wore the shirt after a pre season game, he had plenty of time to become informed before the week in Miami and his wearing the shirt around town.

And the dude is smart and informed on a lot of other issues.

I am not sold he was ignorant, but I don't know so giving him the benefit of the doubt.

God help me as I don't want to be labelled "the Fidel Castro defender" here, but is it possible he could have been endorsing some (I assume Castro had his good moments, few and far between as they might have been) good that Castro might have done, while at the same time being ignorant to the bad he's done as well?

If Kaep came out and said Castro was a good man, and totally not to blame for Cuba's problems of the last 50 years I would probably say Kaep is clueless based off the minimal evidence available. But things aren't always as clear cut as people want them to be.

Castro lead a regime that was rife with racism...in a situation where a genocide label coulda fit.

So to say Kaep is an ignorant sob...he clearly is.

Where exactly did he make public statements endorsing Castro? I missed that one.
