Reflections by Comrade Fidel
Glory to the good!
Our
delegation was received early this morning with the recognition and the honors
it deserves. Esteban Lazo and Frederich Cepeda spoke. There was Raúl, who had made them
standard-bearers during the ceremony at the Palace of the Revolution.
They
were given a copy of my reflection which had been printed today in Granma and
inserted in CubaDebate.
I spoke
about the technology and discipline introduced to baseball by
Of the
73 who flew to
One was
editing video material on baseball for Cuban National Television. It was pitiful to hear his lament published
in the cables. He sighed that the only
thing sad about it was that his dear mother and beloved girlfriend hadn’t traveled
with him. He had left the very first day
that the delegation arrived in
The
other one was writing in Juventud Rebelde on the same subject. This one had traveled several times but he
was waiting for the Classic to carry out his felony. He was constantly glued to the team. He was positively ridiculous. Two hours before they left for the airport to
return home, he disappeared.
What a
couple of repulsive fakes they are, incubated by capitalist ideology!
Those
cases are useful to put the spotlight on the merit of the athletes making up
our honorable national team, prepared to give their lives for the Homeland.
Of
course, guys like those cannot sow a single grain of conscience. What a load of silliness they must have
published about baseball; instead of guidance, they only confuse!
All of
them are not like Bobby Salamanca or Eddy Martin, who offered such noble
testimony about our great sports victories.
Glory to
those who devote their lives to building the honor and love of the Homeland!
Glory to
the good!
