Segundo año de la F1 en Miami


 Segundo año de la F1 en Miami


Algunos lo califican de un show y critican que el circuito no es tal, sino solo un estacionamiento modificado.

Otros se quejan del precio de las bebidas y las comidas, porque son muy costosas.

Uno más vociferan en la entrada cuando no les permiten llevar sus cámaras fotográficas porque esa es la reglamentación vigente.

Pero al final, cuando ven a uno de estos corredores caminando hacia sus vehículos, y los oyen rugir en la pista, las críticas se olvidan y la pasión por el deporte se impone a los reclamos.

Miami se convierte en ese momento en el centro de atención de los amantes de la velocidad, es algo que resulta difícil de explicarle a los fanáticos de la Nascar o las carreras de Indy... es la Fórmula 1... y con eso no se dice más...

Falta solo ver al ganador y hablar por días del piloto que viste y la experiencia que viviste...

José Fernández.

¿A quién beneficia que se sepa que José Fernández estaba embriagado y usó cocaína antes de que sufriera el accidente que le costó la vida a él y a sus dos amigos la madrugada del domingo 25 de septiembre de este año?

Lo más seguro es que su nombre termine manchado, y la mancha no se va a ir por muchos años.

Quizás muchos se nieguen ahora a que retiren su número del equipo de los Marlins, centro de sus hazañas deportivas. Pero es en esa frase donde precisamente me quiero centrar. Sus hazañas deportivas.

José cometió un error, y tal vez hasta lo cometió varias veces. Pero era un ser humano, y como tal, los iba a seguir cometiendo toda su vida, de cualquier tipo. Esa equivocación en particular, el alcohol y las drogas recreacionales fue uno de esos errores.

La experiencia me ha enseñado que no se puede juzgar a una persona por sus errores, sino por el contexto de su vida.

¿Cuántas alegrías nos dio José en las Grandes Ligas? Con sus ponches, 579 en total… 253 solo en este año… con sus victorias, con sus batazos, que como pitcher dio algunos, con su entusiasmo y su sonrisa.

Eso es lo que no debemos olvidar ahora que se nos presenta este lado oscuro de su vida, tan oscuro que le costó la existencia. Y no debemos olvidarlo, porque ninguno de nosotros es perfecto, y al no serlo, no debemos criticar gratuitamente al que no podemos entender.

Que Dios sea el que juzgue a nuestra estrella, no los seres humanos en charlas de cafetín o de bar, seguramente también acicaladas hipócritamente de alcohol y quizás hasta de drogas.


Y que la organización de Grandes Ligas comience a exigirles un patrón de conducta a sus miembros, de modo que a futuro puedan evitarse casos como éste.

The soldier and the teacher deserve more

Yes, we look like fools by worrying whether Lebron comes back or not, whether he has an agreement with Dwayne and Bosh or not, whether he has talked to Pat Riley and Micky Arison or not.

First, look at all the names I have mentioned. Is there a poor guy among all of them? No, not one.

Have they called us and asked for our opinion? Remember, these were the guys who said: "not one, not two, not three..." I have not forgotten, so now it is their time to make good on their promises and not be what many would call mercenaries.

Yes, I know that many people say that they are professional athletes and that they have a limited life to make money. But let us not forget that in one year, they make more than a hundred families in the cities they play make in their lifetimes. So, a little humility here guys, because if we did not go to your games and cheer for you, you would not be the millionaires that you are.

It has been told many times, but let me remind you, that the soldier in Afghanistan or Irak, who lost his leg or who knows what injuries he sustained to support your way of life, makes less, much less than 0,3% of your annual salary, and I am being generous. Or the teacher who makes your kids decent human beings... well, you ask them please how much they make and how they manage to pay for the supplies of their students whose parents cannot afford what they need.

So, a little perspective here, you provide entertainement but that should also come with values. And among those values, I was not aware that going to the best bidder is the most important one.

Really?

Guys, the people who show up to your games love you to an extent that I think is exagerated when I think that your most important goal is money. I hope that I am mistaken, but whether your name is Lebron, Wade, Chris or any of the other guys from other teams looking for a big contract, show a little respect and a little humility please, we deserve it. The soldier who defends you deserves it, and so does the teacher.

Thank you.

The Florida Panthers have a new coach

The coach of the Florida Panthers was fired because the team does nothing but lose.
The general manager said Dineen was angry at the firing,  but he was sent on his way, anyway.

But not only will the coach and his two assistants be sent out, but also some players will find the way to the exit.

His words were: "Our best players have to start playing better or we will look for better players." In other words he got tired of losing.

Finally, because truth be told, two consecutive seasons of this had become unbearable.

The new coach comes from the San Antonio Rampage. And now we will wait to see how the team behaves. Go Panthers!

Nuevo coach en las Panteras de Florida

El coach de las Panteras de Florida quedó fuera porque el equipo no hace sino perder.
El gerente general del equipo dijo que Dineen se molestó pero que igualito lo sacó.

Pero no sólo se va el coach y sus dos asistentes, sino que también le va a tocar a algunos jugadores. 

Sus palabras fueron: "nuestros mejores jugadores tienen que comenzar a jugar mejor o buscaremos mejores jugadores". En otras palabras se cansó de perder.

Al fin, porque la verdad sea dicha que dos temporadas seguidas de esto se había convertido en insoportable. 

El nuevo coach viene de la sucursal de San Antonio, el Rampage. Y ahora nos toca esperar a ver cómo se comporta el equipo de ahora en adelante. Arriba las Panteras!

The Incognito incognita

When I started in college, a group of students prepared a dummy class and none of the new students knew it was not real .

They played a political discussion that seemed likely to become a fight, but just before that happened, those who prepared the joke, laughed and said it was a way to welcome us. And it became a memory that we would always remember.

But it's different when people are abused or harassed.

When the jokes are permanent, they become a pattern of abusive behavior.

And it turns out that our Miami Dolphins, instead giving us news for their victories in the field, became news for this harassing behavior.

And now, a player, Martin from the offensive line, left the team and reported through his legal representatives, that another player, also from the offensive line, constantly tormented him with his behavior.

Conclusion

That the worst offensive line in the NFL, which has allowed the largest number of sacks in the league, that does not protect its quarterback at all, is now worse, because it lost two of its players and, incidentally, broke the unit of the team, if there was one.

And where was the coach in all this, one wonders. Who knows?

Now I understand why our offense is so disastrous .

And you can be sure that Incognito is not going to come back with the Dolphins. He was suspended too fast to create doubts about what he was accused of.

And Martin, I very much doubt he will return to that locker room where he may not be welcomed.

The point is that instead of cheering our sport , these gentlemen soured it .

How do I say now Go Dolphins?
