I think it's shitty. They'd be good competition, plus we shouldn't still be pulling this Cold War crap to undermine any gov. we dont like. They arent a threat anymore. 12/27/2005 12:34:58 PM |

Cuba plays us like a fiddle. They know we won't accept any sort of charity, so they go out of their way to appear benevolent, and the rest of the world sees the big, bad U.S.A. strong-arming a "repentant" Cuba. 12/27/2005 1:08:43 PM |

considering id already posted in this thread, hardly
and i stopped using the "faggot" insult in, what, 8th grade?
Back on topic: it really is silly. the best should play the best, regardless. aside from 1980, we never let politics get in the way of playing enemies in the Olympics. hell, they're not a threat now, and we're banning them. lame.
V YES I LOVE COMMUNISM, LET ME TELL YOU
id say youre joking, but who knows, i met one of your protest warriors once outside some mall and i swear, those are some big-ass trolls.

The only reason you want the cubans to play is so you have somebody to pull for.
Likewise, I stopped using the insult "retard" when I was, like, 7? 12/27/2005 4:07:04 PM |

nah. just call it "World But Cuba" 12/27/2005 7:04:23 PM |

communist china gets to play, cuba does not.
communism isnt the reason (as much as some people wish it was, i guess), its the fact that we just ignore cuba like its still the cold war. china kills more of their citizens and they get the olympics too. whatever.
GO SOUTH AFRICA!

good point on not calling this the "world baseball classic" since we're blocking people
how the fuck do WE even block shit from an internation competition?

I booed the U.S. Basketball team at the Olympics. Unfortunately, the television and my roommate were the only ones there to hear me. 12/30/2005 7:33:50 PM |
