A different take on the Ozzie-Castro narrative this morning.......


NBC Sportstalk just interviewed Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald today about Ozzie and the reaction from Cuban Americans in S. Florida, and he offered an alternative to the mass media established narrative: He noted that almost nobody in the crowd of 100 or so protesters was under 60 and that it was a very right-wing political group; said the community is not a monolith and that he believes that by and large, people are willing to accept the apology and give Ozzie another chance.
The NBC Sportstalk host seemed a little dejected because it so ran counter to their pre-interview narrative.
