So now that Fidel Castro has officially stepped down, many people are reserving celebration this time. After all, he’s just been chillin’ the past couple years anyways. What I wonder here is whether Adidas will keep him as a sponsor. I mean, it’s not like he’s the leader of Cuba anymore-he’s simply morphed into an irrelevant old guy.

It’s probably a good time for him to move on to the private sector, there’s just not a whole lot of money in that communist thing. Besides, he’s getting old and he needs to think about what he will pass on to his brother Raul. Oh wait, never mind.
