[Marxism] Chavez Challenges Major League Baseball

[Dbachmozart@xxxxxxx]

clip - 
When Hugo ChÃvez struck out in his December referendum aimed at overhauling  
the Venezuelan political system, a small group of overfed men raised their  
glasses in triumph: the assorted owners of Major League Baseball. 
Edward Bennett Williams once called them a âDen of Idiots,â and for the 
last 
 decade, the idiots have descended in vulpine fashion on both the Dominican  
Republic and Venezuela, marauding like free marketers on steroids in their 
quest  for baseball talent on the cheap. Currently, 30 percent of all minor 
league  players are from the DR alone. 
Owners love Latin America for the same reason Disney canât get enough of  
Haiti: they, can sign children for pennies, treat them like trash when 
theyâre  
finished, and face contact lens-thin regulations for their troubles.
