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.


Maybe that kind of attitude is one reason why those communities are so shit to begin with. But that's just the musing of a privileged white oppressor, I'm sure a community where high school graduates are outnumbered by children born out of wedlock would better understand what's good for them.

btw i know it's crass for some first world dude to judge a guy for daring to live in the same country he lives in. sttill, they get on boats and head out into the ocean risking life and limb to be baseball celebrities. it's goofy priorities on top of everything else. i think even they are conflicted about it because i notice when the western media is writing those breathless pieces about how they escaped from a communist dictatorship they never comment or trash talk cuba. so anyway it's just a personal pet peeve for me, and they should be shot.

national borders maintain the insane legal fiction that human rights are hereditary and based on geographic (sometimes even non-contiguous) location. on this issue i support operating from First Principles regardless of the social or economic consequences (which would necessarily be an almost invisible faction of the consequences historically caused by national borders anyway)

MLB somehow manages to be even more xenophobic and jingoistic than European soccer hooliganism and they dont even play against teams from other countries outside of maybe a couple of dumb exhibition games that dont matter and nobody cares about

Three Basic Principles of Catholic Social Teaching on Immigration

First Principle: People have the right to migrate to sustain their lives and the lives of their families.

Second Principle: A country has the right to regulate its borders and to control immigration.

Third Principle: A country must regulate its borders with justice and mercy.



yeah, cutting and pasting is not very useful here though, it does a lot more good to explain what this means in practice because if you are actually a Catholic you know that, for instance, in the U.S. the USCCB promotes a full path to citizenship for undocumented workers and the repeal of IIRIRA

considering how competitive top athletes are, I imagine a lot of defectors just want to play and prove themselves against the world's best, which they wouldn't get in cuba. i don't watch baseball though

'human rights' is insane legal fiction in the first place.

where does the supposedly inviolable nature of 'human rights' come from anyway, some Swiss bureaucrat? i'm always surprised when i hear people talking about human rights to be honest, i thought it would have gone the way of 'where's the beef' or 'workers of the world unite'
