    How many tens of thousands did Castro line up and murder? The cuban-americans that live in south fla fled that oppression, left behind relatives, lost family. Oh man. Obomba will have a job for Ozzie at least or maybe he can be the baseball analyst on Msnbc.

    I guess my problem is the fact that these people fled cuba so they could get away from opression and so they COULD have freedom and freedom of speech. Now they want to protest someone because he used that freedom to say something. You can't have it both ways. Its not like many cubans go to the games down here, hell its not like anyone goes to the games down here unless daddy yankee or pitbull is playing after the game.

    She did have an opinion and baseball had to suspend and eventually get rid of her. She was a miserable, big mouth, racist asshole.

    On November 13, 1992, Charles "Cal" Levy, a former marketing director for the Reds, stated in a deposition for Tim Sabo, a former employee, who was suing the team that he'd heard Schott refer to then-Reds outfielders Eric Davis and Dave Parker as "million-dollar ni**ers."[3] Sabo, whose position was "team controller," alleged that his 1991 firing was due to testifying against her in another lawsuit brought against Schott by several limited partners and because he opposed the unwritten policy of not hiring blacks. Schott's countersuit alleged that Sabo wrote unauthorized cheques to himself and paid health insurance premiums to retired front-office employees. She asked for $25,000 in damages for defamation. Sabo ultimately lost his suit.

    Levy, who is Jewish, alleged that Schott kept a Nazi swastika armband at her home and claims he overheard her say "sneaky goddamn Jews are all alike."[3] The next day, Schott issued a statement saying the claims of racism levied against her were overstated and that she did not mean to offend anyone with her statement or her ownership of the armband. Schott explained that the swastika armband had been her late husband's. During his World War II service he had saved a fellow soldier's life. In gratitude for this act the soldier had given him the souvenir Nazi armband as a token of appreciation. Schott kept the armband as a remembrance of her husband's bravery and service.

    On November 29, Schott said the "million dollar ni**ers" comment was made in jest, but then stated that she felt that Adolf Hitler was initially good for Germany and did not understand how the epithet "Jap" could be offensive.

    During the same season, a former Oakland Athletics executive assistant, Sharon Jones, is quoted in the New York Times as having overheard Schott state: "I would never hire another ni**er. I'd rather have a trained monkey working for me than a ni**er," before the start of an owners' conference call.[4]

    A four-man committee was convened to investigate Schott. On February 3, 1993, she was fined $250,000 and banned from day-to-day operations of the Reds for the 1993 season. John Allen took over as managing partner. Schott returned to work on November 1.

    On May 18, 1994, during a speech before the Ohio County Treasurers Association, Schott commented that she did not want her players to wear earrings because "only fruits wear earrings."[5] She said, "I was raised to believe that men wearing earrings are fruity."[5] Up to 1999, the Reds had a long-standing rule prohibiting players from having facial hair.[2] The rule was rescinded after a discussion between Schott and newly-acquired outfielder Greg Vaughn.

    In 1995, Schott famously announced in the middle of the season that manager Davey Johnson would not return, regardless of how well the Reds did. By all accounts, this was because of a personality clash between Johnson and Schott. Most notably, Schott did not approve of Johnson living with his fiancée before they were married later in the year.

    While the Marlins had to do something how can baseball say they approve this when I have a vision in my head of a few years ago of Bud Selig sitting side by side Fidel Castro smiling watching the Orioles play Cuba National Team in Cuba?!?!?

    I also hate the free speech issue here. Just because you can say what you want here doesn't mean there isn't any repercussions. It just means you won't be prosecuted....

    Bud Selig should have stayed out of this, he is a joke!
