It is usually considered code when someone says "its their issue" and basically washes their hands of it that the person doesn't support what the group did (all the way from when Pilate did it in the Gospels ).

Freedom of Speech is for government action. It has never applied to private companies.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

So what exactly does "MLB is on record as opposing freedom of speech" mean?
I see absolutely no reason to criticize Selig's actions on this. Its knee-jerk anti-Selig silliness.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

(by your own logic) So the only other outcome will be that he pisses additional people off by being involved. Now if he had stepped up and banned him for a few years, that might have been different.
As for pissing off people off by getting involved, I would wager that any such rage would be more nebulous and less intense than that of the Cuban-American community against Castro (and any perceived supporters he may have).

Originally posted by ColdWizard View PostThey won't be satisfied, no. If he says nothing, then they can interpret it as tacit approval (if you're not against Ozzie, you must be for Castro). Thus his condemnation of Ozzie prevents them from adding MLB as a focus of their anger.
