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.

I agree. At a minimum Kaep is ignorant, at worst he's a big supporter of Castro. Either way, I have no more interest in defending him or analyzing why he wore a t-shirt.

The only argument I give a shit about with Kaep is the one that he deserves a tryout after being out of the game for multiple years. Pass.
