Neither man's views were considered remotely important until, very belatedly, they were found out.

....and then plastered all over the place by the media. Slow news day? Then lets help create some.,,

At least Delgado is trying to stick to his convictions in the most inconspicuous way possible, too bad the media has to stir the pot....

I can think of more negative ways to show displeasure, such as standing on the field and giving the upraised fist - black power salute....

I don't agree with Delgado's politics but he isn't the one making the fuss about it. I also never grew up in Puerto Rico where anti-American sentiment is the norm.

All I ever wanted to do as a kid was play baseball but unfortunately, I could never hit a fastball, curveball or a slider.....Now they have to make it even harder by injecting politics into the equation.

Actually Puerto Rico is actually split between keeping the current comonwealth staus and statehood. Independence is supported by miniscule minority.

Also many Puerto Ricans serve bravely in the Armed Forces.

Del Gado spits in the faces of those soldiers, IMO.

"I also never grew up in Puerto Rico where anti-American sentiment is the norm."

Then they need to declare their independence and renounce their US citizenship AND ALL THE PERKS THAT GO WITH IT, including Social Security.

Oh, right, they refused to do that when given the chance.
