This is pretty much over already, so I hesitate to even post it.

Most of this was a comment that I wrote over on Being Latino in response to that whole Ozzie Guillen saying that he loves Fidel Castro thing. My point was basically this:

As a private person, Guillen can say whatever he wants about anything he wants. As a representative of the Marlins, he needs to toe the party line and only say what the Marlins approve of him saying.

That’s pretty much the difference between free speech and “free” speech.

So yeah, I’m glad he got suspended. Apparently, he’s a good enough manager that they didn’t see the need to fire him for insulting their sacred cow.

Bottom line, if he can’t abide by the rules of his employer when he’s representing his employer, he’s welcome to seek employment elsewhere.

Maybe Castro is hiring people in Cuba? I bet, that working for Castro, would be a dream job for Guillen. I hear they have a good baseball team, they just don’t actually have any baseballs, or shoes, or equipment, or food among other things.
