Rubio Loves Making Cuban Baseball Fans Cry!!!
This photo shows the Cuban National Team arriving in West Palm Beach, Florida this last week May-2021 to participate in the 8-team pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournament that will be played May 1st till June 5th in West Palm and St. Lucie in Florida. The other 7 teams in the event are the U. S., Canada, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Cuba's first game will be on Monday, May 1st, against Venezuela. The winner of this overall event in Florida will then be awarded one of the six spots in the Summer Olympics to be played in Japan starting in July. Please note: U. S. soil, especially in Florida, is very hostile for Cuba as well as two nations -- Venezuela and Nicaragua -- that the U. S. government severely punishes because of their friendship to Cuba. And as soon as the Cuban baseball team arrived in West Palm Beach, the insatiable U. S. antagonism against the Cuban players came into fruition, which was not at all unanticipated!!!
Twenty-two-year-old Cesar Prieto was the star infielder for the Cuban team that arrived in Florida for the pre-Olympic Qualifying Baseball Tournament late Wednesday. The photo above was used as the BBC's renowned journalist Will Grant said Prieto was setting batting records in Cuba while playing for Cienguegos. As Prieto arrived at the team's hotel, the Hilton in Palm Beach, Will Grant reported that he got into a waiting car and was quickly whisked away. He, of course, surely knew the car would be waiting for him. Obviously, Prieto is considered a Major League prospect and, of course, unsavory human traffickers and baseball agents plan to cash in on his eventual U. S. contract. Regarding the "legality" of that aspect of U.S.-Cuban relations, politicians in Florida and in the U. S. Congress have made sure that it is totally legal from the standpoint of two things: {1} Money; and {2} merely hurting the baseball-loving Cuban people on the island. Anyone who denies that fact it telling you a lie.
To understand the gutless and cowardice U. S. contempt for decency and for its democratic principles, please note the article depicted above from USA Today written by Cesar Brioso and published on April 9, 2019. The title of the article told Americans: "OPINION: TRUMP'S SCUTTLING OF MLB-CUBA DEAL MEANS DEFECTIONS, HUMAN TRAFFICKING WILL CONTINUE." In other words, the sheer indecency of the U. S. dealings with Cuba scuttled an agreement that Major League Baseball had signed with Cuban Baseball so that Cuban players would be treated almost the same as other foreign players as far as the U. S. Major League teams were concerned. MLB wanted to keep unsavory agents and human traffickers from profiting so mightily by persuading and helping Cuban players to defect and then sign lucrative Major League contracts that the agents and human traffickers would share in. Of course, all decent people agreed with the deal...except, of course, the people dictating President Trump's genocidal four-year cruelty against Cuba that was designed to severely punish Cubans on the island, enrich Cubans in Miami/Little Havana, and also enrich certain people involved in the genocide and ransacking of Cuba. In that milieu, President Trump's prime Cuban dictator in the U. S., Senator Marco Rubio from Miami/Little Havana, quickly vetoed that decent and sane agreement between Major League Baseball and Cuba's Baseball Federation...and OF COURSE, every unsavory baseball agent and human trafficker in the Caribbean and Florida rejoiced!!
In the two graphics depicted above, the USA Today clearly chronicled the sheer indecency of how the Trump administration vetoed the decent and sane agreement signed by Major League Baseball and Cuba in 2019. Moreover, what happened this week -- in this last week of May of 2021 -- shows that the new Biden administration in Washington also doesn't have either the guts or the integrity to correct any of the Trump administration's indecency and insanity against Cubans on the island.
In other words, in America's money-crazed two-Party political system, Democratic President Joe Biden has his own vicious Cuban dictator, the controversial Senator Bob Menendez from Union City/Newark.
And in other words, Trump's Cuban dictator Rubio and Biden's Cuban dictator Menendez merely continue the shame to the U. S. democracy that began in earnest back in 1952 when the U. S. teamed with the top echelon of the Mafia to support the brutal, thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba.
In other words, beginning in Cuba in 1952 and in Miami in 1959 {after the Cuban Revolution} cowardly generations of U. S. citizens have been the most to blame for allowing this to happen. So 1952 and 1959 remain watershed years...for both Cuba and for the USA.
