ilmdge posted:like youre saying cuba needs to match the multi-million dollar contracts the capitalist mlb can offer? that's absurd, they can't do that. players are justified defecting then, in order to become millionaires? is becoming a millionaire a right for talented people? i dont get it man
Do you shake your head watching soccer games and moan about how these greedy players from the developing world should be building People's Football back in Brazzaville or whatever?
i mean who are you to determine how 'justified' this kid's actions are?
ilmdge posted:the one redeeming factor of defecting baseball players is at least it's not like losing doctors or scientists that the regime spent a bunch of time/resources educating. it's just some freak-born athletic talents. still though. anyone who wants to earn in the millions of dollars is a sinner
yeah and being a sancitmonious priss online about what cuban kids do with their talent is the height of piety. shut up goober
babyfinland posted:do you understand what you can do with millions of dollars
be a rich cuban expat? those guys own huh? or if any of these ball players have something noble in mind to be honest i'd be happy to hear it and forgive them. but they don't. they never do

ahahahahahahahahah as if a fucking doctor could ever gain the love of the masses compared to someone like Diego Maradonna or Sachin Tendulkar.
It seems that when a poor kid becomes a massive sporting star and moves away and starts earning big money, the community they came from will generally be filled with pride and admiration, not sanctimonious tutting about the ethical implications of his sponsorship deals.
shut up

haha to be honest i actually know exactly what you're saying, this place isn't typically good for serious conversation, and no one should feel obligated to put the effort into writing serious things, because they certainly won't get a lot of worthwhile responses. so you know what, thanks to this reply i finally understand why you've been so different since you've returned and i totally get it. but, i just awanna say, the efforts you put in before weren't totally for waste or completely ignored. myself for instance, i didn't get involved or reply to those things but i definitely readit all and definitely took it into consideration or thought about it or anyway totally appreciated it. you were one of the posters i liked the most, before.
this goes for everyone who puts effort into their posting btw. no you dont get worthwhile responses usually, that's true. but yeah a bunch of people read it and appreciate the effort, seriously

thats nice but i dont really care. if i were to keep up with that id be posting things no one would understand or care about anyways, so i only really pipe in when i have specific recommendations based on what people are talking about, like that psycho mustang talking about the ottoman empire and whatnot. i dont really care about this broad political theorizing or punditry that binds the lf conversation together much anymore. political stuff is still interesting to me but i know the debates and theres just not much more to say, so whatever. got any pussy eating tips bro

like there's a reason cuban musicians and dancers and shit defect less frequently, because they can excel in their field just as well in cuba as elsewhere.
