April 10, 201214 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) Just wondering if there's any distinction or differentation between free speech rights on public versus private property...? For example, in recent months, students have been expelled for posting things online while at home...because they were using the school's internet or IP address/account for posting. But the argument was made that since they weren't at school, they shouldn't suffer the same consequences....and also that it was after official school hours. Well, I guess it really doesn't matter. No, where it was that it happened doesn't matter at all in this case. It wouldn't have mattered if he was using team facilities to make the statement or not. All that matters is that he has embarrassed his employer directly to a group that his employer considers a key demographic for their product.

April 10, 201214 yr Not Kenny Williams @fakeKW Ozzie laughs at suspensions. You need to threaten his family.

April 10, 201214 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 09:54 AM) It is amazing how out of touch with reality someone like Ozzie is. Barry Rozner was hosting on the score. He said when you get way from baseball, and just talk to him off the record about anything else, he isnt very bright.

And LOL at Ozzie mentioning that he won't get paid during his suspension.
April 10, 201214 yr So the main thing so far is a five day suspension without pay. The women who are asking him questions in Spanish are really hammering away at him over and over again but so far I give him credit for maintaining his poise and not getting impaciente or enojado.

April 10, 201214 yr And an even bigger LOL at the misinterpretation, but I am still sorry and wrong. Well which is it Ozzie? Were you misinterpreted, or wrong?

April 10, 201214 yr Five games is fine by me as long as long as it gets everyone to apply their vagisil and find something else new and outrageous to b**** about, like that Ozzie is racist because the press conference was in Spanish and this is America not Spain and Mexico.

I know f***-all about Miami but I could have told you that talking about Castro in language that was anything short of condemnation and hatred was going to incite a strong backlash from the Cuban Exile community.

April 10, 201214 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 06:18 AM) It will be interesting to see if Ozzie takes all he said back. Apparently he's admired Fidel for a while and said basically the same thing he said here in 2008. http://www.suntimes.com/11806414-417/telan...ro-in-2008.html Bob Nightengale @BNightengale Guillen, calling it worse mistake of life, says: "If I don't learn from this mistake, you can call me dumb.'' #MLB #Marlins
April 10, 201214 yr Bob Nightengale @BNightengale Guillen says "He prefers to die,'' before he would ever vote for Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. #MLB #Marlins
