The Cuban comedian Luis Silva He stated that the episode of violence that occurred on Sunday in the National Baseball Series is a reflection of the state of Cuban society today.
Silva referred to the brawl that occurred in a match between the Cienfuegos and Camagüey teamswhere an apparent refereeing error triggered physical and verbal confrontations between the players, while the public shouted angrily from the stands.
“That is nothing more than a reflection of how Cuban society is. There is a level of violence in blood, the desire to argue with someone and the desire to fight whoever comes first in front of me. And although some want to deny it, the situation is depressing. of the Cuban economy causes this type of things, which I repudiate and do not justify,” he said.
The actor, a great fan of baseball on the Island, stressed that referees and baseball players are not exempt from the crisis that the country is going through.
“Games in the sun every day, with conditions that we all know. With horrible food. With those abusive salaries (yes, because nothing else is talked about those who set abusive prices). Transportation that is delayed and games have to be suspended. Add to that emigration, where there are increasingly less prepared people, or those with emerging training,” he explained.
In conclusion, the comedian He called for stern measures to be taken against those involved..
“I hope this situation can be reversed. And discipline and respect will return to each field,” he stressed.
Pánfilo’s interpreter left his comment on the Facebook wall of journalist Boris Luis Cabrera Acosta, who stated that he was very concerned about the quality of the referees and the violence in the LXIII National Series.
Cabrera Acosta described what happened in the match as “inadmissible” and because of the “Cuban-style handsomeness” that prevails on the field.
Although he admits that the errors of the referees have reached an unprecedented level in the National Series, he assures that nothing can justify acts of violence, “much less on the part of the athletes and the management bodies.”
“The National Commission and those in charge of supervising the referees are losing control as a result of the warm cloths, the little preparation and experience of those in charge of administering justice in the matches, the low salaries they earn and the lack of substitutes “, he pointed.
The journalist warned that it is dangerous to impose light sanctions and advocated taking urgent measures to resolve the problems.
“Whoever does not find them and fill out the justification reports should resign,” he concluded.
