The baseball game between Team De la Vida and La Familia Cubana at Tamiami Park in Miami continues to be a topic of debate on social media and one of the most controversial statements has come from the influencer Alexander Otaola.
Otaola questioned the fact that the Miami-Dade Police suspended the game due to the large number of attendees, which even obstructed traffic in the surrounding area, and stated that the organizers did not obtain the necessary permits for the event: “You didn’t have the permits, you did it Cuba-style because that’s how you are, because you are not mentally in the United States, because you set this up as if it were Cuba, haphazardly, in the little baseball field on the corner because that’s what you are, that’s what you represent.”
In his Thursday program, Otaola asserted that organizing this event right at the time of his program last Wednesday was entirely intentional.
They scheduled this game during the time of this program on a weekday. Why didn't they plan the game for a Saturday, for example, when more people who aren't working could attend, why didn't they do it on a Saturday since it's just a ballpark, any day could work," said Otaola.
Why did they do it at the same time? Oh, because the idea was to try to outdo me, but they couldn't, they had to settle for showing the idiot in a mask who isn't in Miami, this Carlitos Alberto, that poor thing doesn't exist, it's just a mask and a rag doll, and the other one, Michael Jackson, they had to grab a screenshot with ten minutes of programming (...) We had been on the air for 10 minutes with over 10,000 viewers and they had been on for three hours with 11,000,” he added, referring to a post on Instagram from Un Martí To Durako.
“All this unity of influencers, all this unity of artists, all this wonderful unity of the merchants of misery is to try to displace this program”, Otaola added confidently in his YouTube space.
In response to Otaola's insinuations, Un Martí To Durako announced that Las Locuras de Miguelín, La Familia Cubana, and Farándula 305 will host a dynamic live show every day from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., coinciding with Otaola's program.
