Listening to the press conference on ESPN of Ozzie speaking about the Castro fiasco. I am so far removed from this that I can’t relate. We have a large Mexican community in my state but being from the west the Cuban experience does not effect me or mine. That being said, I wonder how anybody in their right mind would hire Ozzie. What an idiot.

What is sad is that we still have this racist overtone going on when, if you think about it, most of our sports teams are filled with minorities. Baseball teams are predominantly latin, basketball and football is predominantly black, and they have been made millionaires by the owners an heroes by the fans. So why all the racist crap? Minorities have been given a large national stage to show what and who they are and what they represent. My point being is, that’s exactly what they are doing, showing their true colors, pardon the pun.
Ozzie is an uneducated nut job and he is showing it, and the one and done college basketball players that are given an opportunity to go to school jump ship after one semester. I don’t have issue with making millions but if they were serious about doing something special, take the four years of college and get your degree. Maybe you can fall back on that later after your career is over. But right now all you have is a bunch of spoiled athletes given a gift and they squander it away.
Do you think Ozzie would have thought twice about his love for Castro if he had taken a history class?
