First it was the illusion, the idea that the unity of the players would do the miracle.

Then there was the disappointment, seeing that they did not overcome the offensive of the powerful American team.

Finally, it was the indignation, due to

the tolerated boycott after so many declarations of prohibitions to avoid it and due to the attacks and insults against the fans and even the relatives of the team that excited an entire town.

After watching videos on YouTube and hearing the testimonies of the part of the Cuban delegation that returned to the Homeland, or what baseball player Yadir Drake said on the networks from the United States, everything can be summed up in something that Bárbara Betancourt pointed out in our podcast:

the haters who made the night of the true Cubans bitter.

Reinier Duardo's comments were more caustic.

For the analyst, the celebrators of hate who pass steamrollers over bats and gloves of a sports team can no longer be called Cubans, not even people.

Those who target women and children who only went to see their loved ones play are not acting like human beings.

There is no dignified way to live with that "non-human" species that has appropriated everything related to Cuba within the United States, for the worst of purposes.

This podcast includes sounds from the Cuban Warrior channel, taken from local television, in which the mayor of Miami is heard affirming that the Marlins gave the green light to the use of posters and propaganda of all kinds against the Cuban delegation to the Baseball Classic.

Subsequent events confirmed the complicity, also, of law enforcement officers.

"They won't be able to play," the main hate group agitator warned on his channel, and in more than one moment, we had the feeling that the game would stop.

But the Cubans stoically resisted the onslaught and played until the last out.

In the end, the unbridled aggression of these groups confirmed that little has changed in the so-called City of the Sun, and in any case for the worse, since the lapidary phrase coined by the late journalist Luis Ortega, when he affirmed that "Only in Miami" certain despicable acts could take place with absolute impunity.

It would be necessary to add only in Miami with Cuba.

No other team suffered the harassment, attacks and threats that were launched against Team Asere.

What happened irrefutably confirms that the war is against all the people of Cuba and not only against its authorities.

What freedom can one speak of when those who do not submit to the political ideas defended by a group are disqualified, offended, or threatened.

Cuba's hours in the Classic in Miami must have been inspired by the Goebbels Manual for harassing the Jews.

That hate is not normal, if any hate can be.

It is hate as a way of life.

Poor people who need to exercise it.

What happened in Miami reminds us, as a friend says, that this country that gave birth to humanists like José Martí and Fidel Castro, also gave birth to hyenas like Esteban Ventura and Posada Carriles.

For our luck as a nation and as José Martí said:

when there are many men without decorum, there are those who carry within themselves the decorum of many men.

Those were the players from Team Asere.

Team Courage.

Team Dignity.

Team Decorum.

We will continue Chapping.
