“The Miami Marlins have suspended manager Ozzie Guillen for five games, effective immediately, the team said Tuesday.
Guillen sparked a firestorm when he told Time magazine recently that he respected Fidel Castro for being able to lead Cuba for six decades.
"I respect Fidel Castro," Guillen said in the article. "You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that son of a bitch is still there."
Guillen apologized during a press conference Tuesday, speaking in Spanish.
Guillen said he had "betrayed a Latin community" and that he was speaking to "ask for forgiveness with my heart in my hand."
But, he said, he originallly spoke of Castro in Spanish and "the translation to English was a bit confusing."
In response to questions in English on Tuesday, Guillen said he'd let down the community…”
As I have said in the past many times Miami is a third world city. It is not like an a city of the United States. The problem is the Cubans.
The Cubans that came from Cuba have ruined the city and the state.
They have also messed up the politics of the United States.
We should have worked out a deal many years ago with Cuba. But we are held hostage to their feelings and their hates and they being the Cubans that left Cuba and their children and grandchildren.
This is the United States of America. If someone wants to say they like, love or hate Fidel Castro they should be allowed to do so. Hell, if someone wants to say that Communism is great they should be allowed to do so.
We have freedom of speech in the United States.
I loved the weather in FL. I lived in Orlando for about a year and I lived in Miami for five years. I love the beaches and the weather and many things about Miami but I did not like the people. I do not recommend you live in Miami unless you speak Spanish. Everyone talks Spanish. I went into many businesses and no one spoke English. The cable TV install guy that came did not speak one word of English. Many drivers and even truck drivers not only do not speak English they can not read signs in English.
Even when you are dealing with people that speak English many of them only understand 20% or 30% of English. You will think they speak English but they are not understanding everything. I worked in Miami and had a supervisor tell me how he worked for a company that had him fire an excellent English speaking only worker just so they could hire someone from their country (not the US).
Also the people that speak Spanish fucking hate each other. Someone from one country would tell me that the other guy was no good because he came from some other country. That was a surprise and shock to me. Someone from Cuba would say oh that other guy is from Peru and they are no good. I was surprised. I was thinking since they all spoke Spanish the would all support each other. (Yes, I know Brazil does not speak Spanish.)
It would be nice if freedom would come to Cuba. But even when it does the “Cubans” are not going to go back to Cuba. They are doing to stay in Miami and ruin it and fuck up our politics.
The Cubans in FL that have money will go and buy up some property and businesses in Cuba but they will stay in FL.
Would the last American when they leave FL please bring our flag with them?
