Then maybe watch a fricking baseball game some time. It sounds like you need to learn to relax anyway.


Look who is telling who to relax. You sound like you could coach Notre Dame CFB.

read the whole article in the link. MLB teams signing a contract, the part below is what i believe is "against current US law". is essence, MLB would be paying the Cuban government a kickback for signing players. Imagine a $10m contract and a team paying the Cuban Government $1.5-2.5m....


The posting system is modeled after what happens with players from Japan and Korea.

The difference (and it's not a small difference) is that the Cuban teams are not privately owned.

What's funny is that the top Cuban players are coming over anyway. The new system was just going to make that process safer for them.


Better yet would be to get rid of the Visa that allowed them to come and take the high paying job away from an American citizen!

An influx of Cuban talent may be just what the moribund MLB needs.

Uh how about keeping it to American players and stop feeding the leeches?

Let them fix their shite hole countries and form their own leagues.

Jesus Christ, what a first world problem.... "but but we need Hispanics to play the game and win pennants."

Because I live in the real world, where the owners of baseball teams are going to find the best players without regard to their country of origin.

And I like it that way because it makes baseball better.

This sums up the sentiment of a large portion of people who stopped watching baseball when they allowed the darkies to play with whites. unreal how backwoods and ignorant some Americans still are in 2019.


You mean in 1946 with Jackie? America's pass time thrived for many years beyond 1946. I remember the starting lineup for 1961 Yankees. You know how I remember? Because players didn't change teams every time the money looked better elsewhere. Free agency was right for the players but it sucked for the fans. I really haven't paid much attention since the first strike. Or was it the second strike? Or wasn't the third strike? I don't remember....

While I hope they find a way to allow Cubans to come play without defecting, you must have missed this part:
And you believe everything Trump says, even though he has been anti-Cuba from the start.

Coming from you, that's a badge of fricking honor-like critique.


ETA: Communists don't belong here. Period. Keep your filthy ideologies where they started.

Sounds like your momma didn't quite teach you how to speak with respect.

Congrats for having time to watch a baseball game!
