Reports from Cuba: It is forbidden to applaud for Obama at the baseball game
The Bobalu Blog ^ | March 21, 2016 | Alberto De La Cruz

“Do not applaud when Barack Obama enters and do not wear caps or hats,” are some of the verbal warnings that accompany the entry tickets that are being distributed for the baseball game between the Cuban team and the Tampa Bay Rays on 22 March at the Latin American Stadium in Havana. The National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation (INDER) has announced that the game will be by invitation only.

The tickets are being handed out to members of the Communist Party, the Young Communists Union and trusted officials, according to information from several sources. Military training schools such as Camilo Cienfuegos, located to the east of the capital, will also bring their students dressed in plainclothes, to fill the stands of the Cerro colossus.

Directions include not bringing bags or phones, “not even the key to your house,” says Gonzalez, an accountant in a state company where the invitations have been distributed to party members and administrative cadres. “We must be there several hours in advance and we can’t bring bottles of water nor any other liquid,” he adds...... The US president will visit the Latin American Stadium with a delegation including cabinet members, members of congress, senators, a part of the diplomatic corps settled on the island and other special guests. Raul Castro will also be present. Television and national radio will broadcast the game live.

The 30 Cuban players who, under the leadership of Victor Mesa, will face the Tampa Bay Rays franchise of Major League Baseball (MLB), trained for the moment at the San Jose de Las Lajas Stadium, while the final details were being worked out at the Latin American Stadium.

It is pouring rain, all day- in Havana. A sign from God? Lot's of video shot by Cubans on youtube, esp how completely clueless obamaumao is, or.. a willing tool, and fool. Baseball tomorrow-- Can't cheer for obamaumao- enforced on each ticket holder. Dissidents not invited here either. obamaumao will have cabinet members (who?), members of congress (who?) with him.

And, as for obamaumao's constant mentioning of the concept of "normalization" of relations with cuba there is this response from dissidents to the POTUS-- Cubans are normal people living in an ABNORMAL system. Start telling the world that freedom is normal and what Cubans are living under is abnormal. Make our Cuba a normal nation- civilized, more like the US not a tyranny and dictatorship. Think obmamaumao will tell them THAT? Not likely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkGOB2VSRFg

“Do not applaud when Barack Obama enters”

Got to give the Cubans credit for getting that one right.

Now if they would just keep him...

Can’t applaud for Obama???

What the heck??

Isn’t Obama an honored guest of Cuba?? Aren’t they happy he is there? They don’t want cheering for Obama from the masses of Cubans who supposedly are happy to see an American president normalize relations between our countries??? What the heck???

I guess I don’t understand communists.........

Clever Commies.

By ordering that nobody cheer, it hides that fact that nobody wants to cheer.

I am hardcore for the Rays, but tomorrow I will be ashamed to see them essentially being forced to play in Castropia.

At least the Cuban government could make Dear Leader feel
at home by allowing their baseball fans to wear their
mom pants to the ballgame.

Holy Toledo. The MSM coverage of this is sooooo extreme, in my opinion. Obama’s historic trip to Cuba and all that. Obama the statesman courageously ending decades of hostility and trade embargoes and cold war tension, yadda, yadda, yadda.

You can order them not to clap when he enters, but if he throws out the first pitch good luck keeping them from laughing.

"“Do not applaud when Barack Obama enters”"

Dear Leader's ego will be defkated...his lifetime ambition of being acclaimed as a Commie crushed.

I actually applaud their insulting him... Obama doesn’t deserve the courtesy extended to a head of state.

Which is fitting for a dude who thinks its cool to hang out with Third World strongmen...
