Talk:Yuli Gurriel

Comment
Does anyone know what he does for a living? As an amateur, he presumably has some job.--Silverback 22:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * He's a pro, playing professional ball in Cuba. -Colin Kimbrell 14:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No, all athletes in Cuba are considered amateurs and have other jobs. Castro outlawed professional sports in 1961.  Players are rewarded, though—they are given time off and compensation for playing. However, I don't know what Gourriel's job is.  --BRMo 17:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Huh, never knew that. That's why I love it here, learn something new every day. -Colin Kimbrell 17:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

One of the guys calling the Cuba-Dominican game mentioned he was an accountant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.87.251 (talk) 18:45, 5 June 2006

Cuban players ...
... are "amateurs" in name only. They all have no-show jobs as "physical therapists" in keeping with Castro's sham "amateurism." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 33139 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 30 July 2006
