Will Little Havana ever forgive Ozzie?

I thought this was america where we have the freedom of speech. Wow. Look, I think comparing Hitler to Castro is like apples and oranges. Hitler was a sick demented human being. Something snapped in him and he went mad. Castro I doubt was anywhere as bad as hitler. And besides, the United States government wants us to believe that Cuba is real evil. Just because they cleaned house in the 80's and sent all their prisoners here, does not mean Cuba was bad. I know lots of people here in america that would love to get out and find a better country to live in. Now, look at it this way, lets say Hitler was still the president of Germany, and you came from germany and settled here. Now, keep this in mind, Germany would still be your home country and you would always have a certain feeling about that. I am not sure if Ozzie came from there, but if he did, maybe that's why he said what he said. Me personally, I really don't care, it does not affect me at all. Now, here is something else, what if someone said they hate the president of the united states? Wouldn't that be the same thing, shouldn't they be suspended? And believe me, many people expressed how they hate the president. Even politicians themselves. So shouldn't they be punished for that? That's how I see it.

It’s is a difficult thing for this kind of people to forgive each other. I have coaches been fired and players being sold just because of such acts. It would not come to me as a surprise to see Ooze fired but I wish people would be more realistic on certain issues.

What surprises me is that we found out he said he admired Castro back in 2008, when he was with the White Sox, and no one said a thing. It took him going to a large Latino community before anyone really paid attention to his words. I thought he should have gotten ten games. His ignorance is really nonexcusable.

It's interesting when sports personalities express their views. Although it may add to the 'color' of their personalities, some are indeed better off shutting their mouths. I don't blame Ozzie for liking Castro. That's his view and he is entitled to it. But the one thing he should have thought of before blurting out his opinions was the position he was in. And the responsibilities his position entails. He has an obligation to the team, and the community that the team represent. I hope he starts winning a lot of games, for his own sake.

And I was thinking that there was a freedom of speech in your country. I am not sure that your equation is correct : Castro is a dictator, but is not Hitler. What this man loves or not here has nothing to do with baseball. A good sportsman has always a place in a team, and should better only make public comments about sport.

Maybe ozzie will be fired. i just guess. lol
