San Francisco commemorative Orlando Cepeda baseball.
Ozzie Guillen, manager of the Florida Marlins baseball team, was suspended for 5 days for his comment about Fidel Castro. The Huffington Post reported,
Guillen, who is Venezuelan, told Time magazine he loves Castro and respects the retired Cuban leader for staying in power so long.
That was enough to get the Cuban immigrant community, a target market for the Florida Marlins, calling for Guillen to be fired.
A little lesson to the conservative Cuban immigrant community in Florida, the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to free speech. This is the same Constitutional right you get to exercise when you call for America to invade Cuba.
Cuban immigrants need to stop acting like the dictator they hate. If they don’t like that a person can speak his mind in America, they can go back to Cuba. They should stop trying to bully Guillen and the Florida Marlins around. They don’t own Florida.
The combination of hypocrisy and irony almost makes the situation laughable. Please don’t tell me the Cuban immigrants calling for Guillen to be fired are a product of the public school system in Florida. Whatever…Play Ball! Not Politics!
