In Miami, USA team overwhelmingly boo’d when introduced.
17’em let’s go boys.

If you’re playing a central or South American team in Miami that’s going to be given.
The few times I've been through that airport I absolutely felt like I was in another country.
The one time I was down there we literally overheard more Spanish than English.
Getting boo’d in your own country is a problem. I don’t care where it is. 17’em
We have made major immigration mistakes for way too long.
If it’s a central or South American team playing a US team it’s going to be loud for the visitors. It’s the same way for every single soccer match.
Don’t make this political.
The win or go home bracket makes it feel like seven game sevens. I’m finding a way to get to some games next time they have this.
I'd be pretty nervous about not adding any insurance if I was a Venezuela fan.
Prolly won't matter.

No no no. This is just meaningless exhibition that no one cares about.**
Damn this is such a cool baseball game. On March 17th.
Disappointing ending, but our team has been playing with no "heart" for the whole time. I hope this tournament starts catching on here at the level it does for all of the Caribbean/Asian nations.
You can't say Venezuela didn't earn it though. They went through Japan and Ohtani, then the tournament darlings in Italy, and then the star-studded USA team.

I think we played with a lot of heart, but I agree with the rest of your statement. I think this will make it even bigger next time. Great tournament. Hope we build on this.
I think we lost bc I watched all of the game. I have to “not care” for my team to win. My bad USA.
She Mate Me, I never knew you were such a sentimental Peach.

The same people in the other thread who see no problem with American athletes playing for other countries and competing against their own country, are the same ones now explaining away why it’s ok and normal for our team to get booed in our own country. They are trying to normalize the humiliation of own flag on our own soil. Let me be clear- this is not normal. This is a symptom. The fracture isn’t the boos themselves, but the people who hear them and say “meh” or pretend to be apathetic or make excuses.

It’s amazing how much walls kill you, no matter the level you’re playing.
I'm not, but those people have been through a rough few decades. I really hope they can create something positive with Maduro gone, as much as I doubt it.
Since it's the most important word in your post, I'm going to assume you meant walks. Took me a minute.
Should've played Ice Ice Baby right after the anthem!*
I wish they'd embrace it more.
I also read something about how there are insurance companies that won't insure some players/teams/whoever for the players playing in this. And that's the reason why Mike Trout, Francisco Lindor, and several others aren't in it. Damn insurance companies running the world from all angles
The tournament exists because MLB proposed it and partnered on it 20 years ago.
That's a pretty tight embrace.
It makes me smile that you lost sleep over a baseball tournament because politics.
