Cuban Officials Persist On Restricting Athletes To ‘Inner-Tube Defection Only’

Officials in Cuba continue to believe there is a scary monster living upstream. Cuban zombie and leader, Fidel Castro, has explicitly denied his nation’s boxers the freedom to swap hay-makers with enemy combatants at this year’s Boxing World Championships in Chicago because of fear they will continue to defect. Cuban officials have been biting their nails since earlier this year’s escape attempt by two Cuban boxers at the Pan American games.

Cuba will not sacrifice one bit of honor, nor any of its ideas, for Olympic gold medals.

That’s a relief. We know that integrity and honor are brought on by Cuba’s other major sport: World Championship Dominoes.
