Perhaps one solution would be to make sure that the political statements go both ways--the Orioles could hire sign-holders to make sure that every mention of human rights violations is countered by a diatribe against Yankee imperialism. Maybe we could have two competing waves, one in the shape of a hammer and sickle and the other resembling the face of Alan Greenspan. That way, at least the fans wouldn't have to put on a gag when they walk into Camden Yards. As it is, the Orioles and the Cuban government seem to want to promote "contact...

...expansion and limitless export markets for industrial goods and consumer durables into a globally competitive economy that is as nimble as the rapidly changing marketplace demands. To make it work, he has placed his bets on creating a flexible, U.S.-style labor market in which companies are free to hire and fire as they please.
