Hidden: Officials Ban Posters at WBC: Isn't this infringing upon the first ammendment? I mean, someone holds up a "Down with Fidel (Castro)" sign and the sports world goes nuts.

Castro and Cuba are lucky to be in the event, even though the event would be worse off without them. From what I understand only in San Juan are they going to ban the signs. Although I thought I heard ESPN report that some guards there said they would not get in the way of someone's expression. What exactly that means I don't know. I just hate it when politics gets involved in these things. If the event is on US soil people should be allowed to express their opinions or views. Puerto Rico didn't secede while I wasn't watching, right?
