Baseball Foreign Policy

Ozzie Guillen

What was Ozzie Guillen thinking....? He wasn't like most most of what Ozzie says, its impulsive and could be said that something was lost in translation. I feel that there are two parts to this Ozzie Guillen-Fidel Castro story, however I feel that one part has nothing to do with the other and what the repercussions that followed have to do with everything in the first place.
If I understand correctly what Ozzie Guillen the manager of the Miami Marlins was saying was that you have to give a guy dibs who has been in power for this long with all these people trying to take him out, which was misconstrued as him saying that he loved Castro which would make Guillen a communist in an area of the country where there is a large  Cuban presence and the Miami Marlins are trying to get their image up in the south Florida region.
First of all what is a  baseball manager being interviewed by Time magazine on any political or foreign policy topic? I was not aware that Guillen had a background or a degree any of those topics. I agree with all the Cuban immigrants getting upset and peeved with Ozzie Guillen.
The other part of this political snafu was that Major League Baseball has suspended Ozzie for five games. Like I said before that Ozzie should have shut his mouth and not said anything and I do not agree with what he said at all, however I do not see how what he said is worthy of suspension. Major League Baseball should be worried about how to handle steroid testing and Ryan Braun’s 50 game suspension that will not be happening this season because of a loophole in the system. I don't see who a comment about foreign policy deserves a five game suspension, do you get one game for mouthing off at your neighbor? Sometimes the people that run the MLB just blow my mind.
