The Major League Baseball team the Miami Marlins have suspended their manager for appearing to heap praise on former Cuban President Fidel Castro. The manager, Ozzie Guillen, had told an interviewer: “I love Fidel Castro. You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years but [he] is still here.” Guillen’s comments were said to have offended members of Miami’s right-wing Cuban exile community. He has since apologized and will be suspended for five games.
