“The Dude Slaughtered F**King 1000s of People”: UFC Fighter Gets Real With Colin Kaepernick Over T-Shirt Graphics

Colin Kaepernick has been an agent of initiating social justice and change in alignment with his beliefs. He has been popular in voicing his opinions against the alleged racism in the NFL. Furthermore, the ex-San Francisco 49ers quarterback has even spoken up about his experiences with racism within his own family. However, the quarterback has recently earned flak for some of his actions, precisely his fashion. Kaepernick was recently spotted wearing a T-shirt with some graphics on it that earned the ire of a prominent UFC fighter. This prominent fighter took to the ‘Joe Rogan Podcast’ to voice his anger against Kaepernick.

The UFC star in question is Jorge Masdival. While on the Joe Rogan podcast, he voiced his anger towards Kaepernick for his fashion choices and the implications they have. He mentioned his personal anecdotes of his father on issues in the country of Cuba. Interestingly, this is not the first time Kaepernick has faced flak for his opinions regarding Cuba, Fidel Castro, and differing ideologies.

The public call out of Colin Kaepernick by Jorge Masvidal

The beginning of Masvidal’s call-out began with a fashion choice that Kaepernick made. The ex-quarterback was reportedly wearing a t-shirt with the graphic of Che Guevara, a figure in the Cuban Revolution. On the podcast, Masvidal spoke about how Guevara was known for crimes against humanity. He mentioned the kind of atrocities that Guevara committed and said, “This dude slaughtered f**king 1000’s of people, family of mine, friends of my family and just to take power. This guy was so fucked up that he had the wall removed from his own office when he could see the firing squad intimidating people.”

Furthermore, Masvidal reiterated the bad taste it was to have such a figure printed on the t-shirt Kaepernick was wearing. He also voiced his immense disapproval of people who look up to people like Che Guevara. Again, he mentioned Kaepernick and said, “If you believe in them so much like any of these guys that advocate for socialism or communism go live over there, got just one year I dare you, bro, I f**king dare you, you wouldn’t make it one day over there Kaepernick or any of these f**ks.”

To add to his point, Kaepernick has spoken and drawn flak even from players in the NFL for his past comments on the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. In the past, the ex-quarterback faced backlash from players who were of Cuban descent.

Kaepernick faced flak due to his comments related to Cuba

This is not the first time Kaepernick has caught heat for his comments regarding Cuban figures. In the past, Kaepernick praised Fidel Castro’s actions in Cuba. Kaepernick was referring to the literacy rate and the investment in education that Castro had implemented. The QB’s support for Castro was seen as his support for oppressive actions. However, even after Kaepernick mentioned that he did not condone the oppressive actions of the dictator, he faced backlash. Ex-Dolphins linebacker, Kiko Alonso spoke about how Kaepernick’s statements showed the QB’s ignorance. Notably, Alonso’s father is from Cuba and both father and son were not happy with Kaepernick’s statements.

Furthermore, in view of parental connections, even Masvidal spoke about the kind of conditions his father had to face in Cuba. While on the podcast he mentioned how his father escaped Cuba as a teenager on a makeshift raft and had to start from scratch in the States. With his statements and his t-shirt, Kaepernick angered two pro athletes who disagreed vehemently with the QB’s views.

All in all, Kaepernick’s words offended Masvidal deeply. He expressed his anger on the Joe Rogan podcast and mentioned the differences in thought. It only remains to see if the ex-QB makes a statement in response in public.
