Recently, the Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen made a highly controversial statement. Reports surfaced that the upcoming edition of Time magazine quotes him saying, "I love Fidel Castro." He later amended his comment, saying: "I respect Fidel Castro. You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that [expletive] is still there." This lead to heavy controversy because the Miami Marlins are located in South Florida which has a vast Cuban population, also because of the fact that he somewhat praised Fidel, who is a terrible dictator. He is going back today, on his day off to apologize to the people of Florida as well as reporters.
