I still believe in my comment that we've lost our freedom of speech.

The people of Miami are demanding that he gets fired.

How sad. We've come so far over the years and have gone no where.

Next, they'll be burning witches again.

Yes, they want him fired. Do you mind if the people of Miami voice their opinon about the issue? Do you mind if the owners of the team voice their opinon about it? The people of Miami do not wish to support a sports team which is coached by a communist. Are you ok if they don't spend their money on Marlins tickets?

You are free to voice communist views, and others are free to disagree, and the team is free to replace the guy who is causing the sales to plummet.

It always continue to amaze me that people expect to be able to say whatever they want and not expect to have any consequences.

Right. Feel free to insult someone, but be prepared to take a punch in the face.

I know I know, he got suspended because he represents the team and the league. But what's wrong with saying you 'respect' Fidel Castro? Lord knows John F Kennedy respected the hell out of him. Without Fidel, JFK's legacy would be lesser.

The Cubans and Cuban-Americans who whine about Fidel and dominate the GOP in S. Florida should just sit down and shut up and thank us all for allowing them to come to the USA and disrupt our lives by their bad behavior.

I am not Cuban, but I am offended by having a communist run our baseball team. He offeds the entire city.

How do Cubans disrupt your life?

PS Wet-Foot-Dry-Foot policy came from Clinton, not GOP.
