ESPN SportsCenter’s Fidel Castro Tweet During Obama’s Historic Cuba Visit Backfires Immediately
March 20, 2016
"Savior and scourge, Fidel Castro was many things to many people."
ESPN's SportsCenter's Twitter account came under fire Sunday for sending out a tweet praising Fidel Castro for his love of sports.
The tweet, which has since been deleted, appeared to paint the Cuban dictator in a positive light.
"Savior and scourge, Fidel Castro was many things to many people," the now-deleted tweet read, according to Mediaite. "One thing all can agree on: He loved his sports."

Not surprisingly, ESPN's tweet did not go over well with many Twitter users, who immediately expressed their displeasure.
