Marlins Suspend Manager For Saying He Likes Castro

Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen was suspended for five games for saying he admires Fidel Castro.

The 48-year-old Venezuelan told Time magazine he loves Castro and respects the retired Cuban leader for staying in power so long. In response, at least two local officials said Guillen should lose his job.

At the news conference, Guillen said his comments were misinterpreted by the reporter, and he doesn’t love or admire the dictator.

“I was saying I cannot believe somebody who hurt so many people over the years is still alive,” Guillen told the news conference.
