FUNNY THING ABOUT THIS...
IS THE U.S. MEDIA IS BLOWING THIS UP MAKING IT OUT TO BE SOMETHING IT ISNT...
OZZIE GUILLEN IS FROM VENEZUELA,WHO'S LEADER HUGO CHAVEZ. RECENTLY RECEIVED TREATMENT IN CUBA,FOR CANCER.
IT'S NO SECRET,VENEZUELA IS AN ALLY OF CUBA.
MOST LATINO COUNTRIES DONT HAVE NO BEEF WITH CUBA OR CASTRO...ONLY THE U.S. AND CUBANS WHO ARE ENEMIES OF CASTRO HOLD THESE GRUDGES AGAINST THAT REGIME.
YEAH MAYBE SINCE OZZIE IS IN THE U.S. HE SHOULD,PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE POLITICS HERE...BUT HE THINKS LIKE A LATINO...AND ALWAYS WILL...IN SOME SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES, CASTRO AND CHE GUEVARA ARE HEROES. AND OZZIE THOUGH NATURALIZED U.S. CITIZEN...HAS ALWAYS REPPED VENEZUELA...WHEN HE MANAGED THE WHITE SOX TO A TITLE. HE REFUSED A VISIT TO THE WHITE HOUSE,IN ORDER TO VISIT VENEZUELAS PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ.
I'M POSITIVE WHEN HE MADE THESE COMMENTS HE WAS THINKING AS A VENEZUELAN NOT AS AN AMERICAN

First - I am a big Ozzie Fan. I would love for him to come coach my Royals. His mouth is his biggest problem, but on baseball coaching he knows his shit.
Second - Because he is a baseball manager, known to have a big mouth, is the reason Ozzie only got suspended 5 games. If he was a politician he would have stepped down out of his role or been forced to quit.
I SAY IT'S NOTHING MAJOR BECAUSE THE WAY I TOOK HIS COMMENTS WAS "FOR FIDEL TO HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WANT HIM DEAD AND TO STILL BE IN POWER FOR 50 YEARS IS A FEAT THAT SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT RESPECTED BY ANYBODY IN A POSITION OF POWER" SUCH AS OZZIE IS... MEANING JUST KEEP DOING YOUR JOB UNTIL SOMEBODY TAKES THE JOB FROM YOU...
WHICH IS STILL STUPID CAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BASEBALL...
THE MARLINS PR DEPARTMENT COULD HAVE CLEANED IT UP BETTER AND HAVE HAD HIM ISSUE AN APOLOGY CLARIFYING HIS STATEMENTS IN A MORE POSITIVE SPIN...
WE GOT HIGH PROFILE PEOPLE IN IMPORTANT POSITIONS, ACROSS THIS NATION SAYING DUMB ASS SHIT ON A DAILY...AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO THEM.
I THINK SINCE OZZIE, HAS ALWAYS STOOD UP FOR BETTER TREATMENT OF LATINOS. PEOPLE HATE

Marlins Fire Guillen After Only One Season
6:53PM EDT October 23. 2012 - Ozzie Guillen's dream job came to an end Tuesday when the Miami Marlins fired him as manager after one season.
Guillen, 48, had three years and $7.5 million remaining on his contract.
"After careful consideration following the disappointment of the 2012 season, we decided to dismiss Ozzie," Marlins president Larry Beinfest said in a statement. "Our hope is that a new manager, along with roster improvements, will restore a winning culture."
The Marlins entered 2012 expecting to contend for a World Series title. In addition to opening a new stadium, they added Guillen and spent $191 million on free agents Jose Reyes, Mark Buerhle and Heath Bell.
"It's a surprise," said Omar Infante, the Detroit Tigers second baseman who was traded from the Marlins in July. "It's sad for Ozzie. Guillen's a good manager. But we didn't win a lot of games and then they made the decision to trade a lot of guys."
The team was a flop almost from the first pitch of the season and finished last in the NL East with a 69-93 record. Along the way, Guillen ran into one controversy after another.
The season was barely a week old when he drew the ire of many locals by saying in a Time magazine article: "I love Fidel Castro. ... I respect Fidel Castro. You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but (he) is still here."
The Venezuelan-born Guillen, who has lived in the Miami area for the last 12 years, apologized for the comments and tried to clarify them before finally being suspended for five games by the Marlins.
He also sparred with opponents -- calling rookie sensation Bryce Harper "unprofessional" -- and his players, with reliever Heath Bell saying in September that the Marlins needed a manager "that everybody respects and looks up to."
Like Guillen, Bell was also cut loose recently, traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday with the Marlins agreeing to pay $8 million remaining on his contract.
The Marlins traded for Guillen from the Chicago White Sox at the end of last season for minor leaguers Jhan Mariñez and Osvaldo Martínez. Guillen had a 678-617 record in eight seasons on the South Side, winning a World Series in 2005.

He should be able to say it where ever he damn well feels like it, it's a personal opinion. Everyone has an opinion on George Bush or Obama or whomoever who are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and oppression worlwide, but it's all gravy right.
Let the Cuban population in Maimi be pissed at him and who cares? It's not like they really support the team that much in the first place.
