Because this is a political move made by the Marlins to appease the demographics of the area in which they play. No other team in baseball would have made a similar move if their manager had said that.

If Bumgarner said he loved the guys who strung up Matthew Shepard, heʻd be gone before nightfall. - altamont 2012-04-10 13:28:17 (49 views)

Here's what I feel - Flashfire 2012-04-10 09:40:26 (83 views)

I generally agree; however, I think the context is getting lost in the reporting. - shikantaza 2012-04-10 09:52:44 (62 views)

Haven't really seen any news outlet try and separate his statement from its proper context. - I am not Joe Lacob 2012-04-11 08:57:34 (35 views)

Yeah, that's where it goes wrong. He never said he was in favor of Castro's actions, etc. - Flashfire 2012-04-10 10:07:22 (36 views)

As a general proposition I may agree with you, but talking about Castro in Miami? - DC Warrior 2012-04-10 09:15:50 (62 views)

I was okay with your subject line, but trying to equate Castro to Hitler is too far... - shikantaza 2012-04-10 09:38:08 (60 views)

The Hitler analogy is always useful - nomad 2012-04-11 00:21:26 (50 views)

Cuban-Americans in Miami think Castro killed and tortured their families - DC Warrior 2012-04-10 10:19:11 (60 views)

it's still a false equivalence, though, and that's exactly why the media should not be reporting - shikantaza 2012-04-10 10:31:16 (44 views)

My in laws would agree with that tho not to the "scale" of hitler obviously - extremely developed tentacles 2012-04-10 10:22:56 (65 views)

I feel bad for what you're in laws have gone through, but I think we need to avoid equating every - shikantaza 2012-04-10 10:42:19 (47 views)

I don't think there's equivalence here, except in the hearts and minds of Castro's victims - DC Warrior 2012-04-10 11:04:08 (47 views)

I find it offensive, actually. - Earl j. Slick 2012-04-10 09:01:04 (74 views)
