Defection

After the report on Cuba, I went onto the New York Times and saw that seven of their national soccer team players and an assistant coach had defected. This is not the first time that national team players have defected but it is one of the largest incidences. I think that this is good for the people now that they can live in a country that allows them freedoms they may not have been granted in their own country. I am still worried, though, about the backlash from Cuba and the way that the U.S. will handle the situation.
