April 9, 201214 yr Nor should he. No one should ever apologize for their beliefs. I agree, he stepped in it by making these comments, but I wouldn't fire him over it. He'll take care of that on his own. Winning games is not going to happen as frequently as Marlins fans are expecting IMO. Not saying he should apologize for his beliefs. Just saying he should be fired for his beliefs.

April 9, 201214 yr Fired for his beliefs? Who's running the team? Castro? There's just some things you cannot come out, and make comments on, and not expect to have serious repercussions on your job security. I remember an owner of a baseball team having her team taken away from her because of comments she made about Hitler.

I remember an owner of a baseball team having her team taken away from her because of comments she made about Hitler. Good point. I disagree with the fundamental aspect of firing people or taking away their teams for their beliefs. Our rights as an American are compromised at that point. Should he have said it? Probably not but at the same time you know what you are getting with Ozzie Guillen.

April 9, 201214 yr I don't think his job is remotely in danger. I'm sure he's not, but I hope the Marlins attendance is drastically hurt because of his comments.
April 9, 201214 yr Author I'm sure he's not, but I hope the Marlins attendance is drastically hurt because of his comments....that's not happening either. But keep trying.

Should he have said it? Probably not but at the same time you know what you are getting with Ozzie Guillen. I have no problem with Ozzie saying what he believes. That is his right, but I also believe it's the Marlins owner's right to fire him if his comments hurt his business.
April 9, 201214 yr Author I have no problem with Ozzie saying what he believes. That is his right, but I also believe it's the Marlins owner's right to fire him if his comments hurt his business.I've seen comments from Cuban Americans where they are already ok with it. I don't think this is going to either hurt nor matter nearly as much as you'd like for it to.
April 9, 201214 yr Author And Votto isn't staying in Cincinnati. :sssh: ...and I was in the minority with that comment. I'm sure I could dig through the threads and find many instances where you were wrong. I'm just not nearly as worried about it. :sssh:
