Remarkable this Ozzie Guillen story.
Suspending him for it is horsespit.
I too marvel at how long Castro has managed to hold on to power despite turning a gem of a country like Cuba into a pisshole. I look forward to the day when its people are free again. Castro's ideas, if you can call them that, are antiquated and go against one of our most cherished values we collectively strive for in Western civilization: Freedom.
Alas, even in those advanced lands and nation-states liberty is clearly on the ropes.
Therein lies the irony. Cuban-Americans who fled Castro's dictatorship did so to, in part, be free. Part of being free is to be able to speaks one mind. Guillen's comments weren't well received by the community and perhaps there should be consequences but shouldn't that be between the Marlins, the community and Guillen without taking the drastic step of suspending someone for speaking?
He apologized. "Let's talk" should be the next step.
