I think that Magglio Ordonez supporting Hugo Chavez makes him a drug traffiker, a terroist, an Idiot, a full of hot air, a violent person , and of course an EXTREME MUSLIM! Let me tell you that he is going to have a nice time in a muslim country called Yemen and stay there with his wife and children for the rest of their lives. Anyone thinks that Magglio Ordonez should move back to Venezuela are really being fooled since there are some people in that country who don’t like Hugo Chavez and his so-called Bolivarian Revolution that’s not what he needs, neither play in Major League Baseball. Whether you like it or not, Magglio Ordonez is not Venezuelan and make your decision to call him a Vene. It dosen’t matter if you are a Tigers fan or not, let’s all come together to boo and be against him. I have one more thing to say is that Magglio Ordonez has to live in Yemen like I Mentioned earilier so that he can live his life there and let’s not forget that he will introduce baseball to the Yemeni people, start Yemen’s national baseball federation, and its own national baseball team with Guess who? Magglio Ordonez being their first manager the country’s history.

Slim, you are so ignorant about History, Cuba today it is poorer than Haiti, there are cubans living in Haiti because of your pal Castro.When those dictators came to power Cuba had the highest GDP of Latin America, and most of the population was midle class, today everybody is poor but the Castro's brothers and their pals, regular cubans flee wherever they can, even to Haiti.That is what you want for the good people of Venezuela, good for the venezuelans to boo that " millionaire socialist", and if you like Castro and Chavez so much, why don't you go and live there so you can see and understand why we feel so strong about those dictators.

slim6789,
     1. Why are you so hostile man? no one is trying to make you look like an ass. You are reacting as the fans that you are criticizing. This posts are meant to be informative.
2. Like your grandmother did in the 60's. I think you should try this: stay in Caracas (or in any other part of the country) for a summer, go in the streets and scream "Viva Chavez" over and over again. We will show you our "love" for him.
     2. Regarding Magglio: If he loves what is going on in Venezuela so much, why doesnt he raise his family there? If the revolution is going so well (like he says it is) he shouldnt have to worry about kidnapping, crime, and political persecution. He can be the number one spokeman for Chavez THERE. We dont like Magglio's opinion because he is doing it out of self-interest and money….which at the ends makes him more "piti-yankee" (Chavez term for a venezuelan who wants anything to do with american capitalism) than "socialist". On top of that he comes across as maybe the second biggest hypocrat in the country (after Chavez).
   3. "You cant be that poor if you are surfing the internet": it doesnt require much to surf the internet. If you go to the barrios (poor neighborhoods) in Venezuela, you will be surprised how many extremely poor households have DirecTV (so they can change the channel when Chavez addresses the country 364 times a year).
   There is more than one way to surf the internet, so please lets not make general assumptions on a person's income based on their accessibility to the internet.
4. Public figures or celebrities should know better when to avoid conflicting topics such as politics. If you voted for McCain this past election you will probably feel this way when you heard celebrities endorsing or talking about Obama.
    Magglio Ordonez opinion would be respected if he lived and raised his family under the revolution he praises…….until then, if he continues to play with fire, he will get burn.
   Thank you guys, hope this helps with the discussion. Nothing was meant to be personal, if it came out that way, I apologize.

Hmmm???? Convenient that you just happen to be living in Venezuela right now so I look like an ass. But I think I'll wait until I get a chance to visit venezuela before I take the word of some random internet poster who is probably sitting in his florida condo right now…. My grandmother went to cuba in the late 60's and she swears that all the people loved Castro. She had to help in the fields, and she says that he even visited the sugar cane fields. So don't tell me I don't know about Cuba..I think you are full of shit about being in venezuela. YOU CANT BE THAT POOR IF YOU ARE SURFING THE INTERNET?!?!?!

What is important to say is that most venezuelan do respect political belief however… Mr. Ordoñez has agreed to become part of the mafia with his companies which receive contracts directly from goverment as counterpaiment of his backing to the comunist chavez.
there are some other players who back chavez however, we do have respect for them but … we can not back a good player who is a mafia comunist!!!!

SLIM6789 you are so wrong, people in Venezuela are having a nightmare because the Hugo Chavez's revolution. The only one who make money wiht the Venezuelan oil is Chavez, the Venezuelans are in a extreme poverty because we don't have any oportunities to make money. I write this because I live in Venezuela and I know what I'm talking, you should read about Venezuela and Cuba because you are extremly wrong.

But what do actual Venezuelans think about him. These expats always have so many bad things to say about the leaders of their old countries, but the people who still have to actually live there never seem to be quite as vocal. Cuba used to be a place where americans went for vacation and the cuban's standard of living was even worse than it is now, except for a few cubans who made tons of money from the tourism and byproduct industries. Castro and Che Guevarra overthrew the government and kicked out those cubans that were making large sums of money while the rest of the country suffered. Thats why those cubans in south florida are always calling for his head, he had the nerve to take them rich people down a peg. That is mostly what Chavez is doing. He wants to make sure that the entire country benefits from all that OIL in Venezuela, and not just the Rich oil tycoons. But I guess even in this time of financial crisis, "Share" is still a four letter word though
