Cuban TV tech defects during baseball classic Yuri Boza, a Cuban broadcast television technician assigned to help cover his country’s performance in the 2009 World Baseball Classic, defected in San Diego on Friday, March 13 to seek political asylum in the United States. In an interview with a Miami TV station, Boza said he made the decision to defect when he learned he’d be traveling internationally to work on the games. Cuba’s victory over Australia assured the team’s visit to San Diego, where Boza boarded a flight for south Florida. He arrived in Miami, where a brother has lived for five years, the next day. Boza, 31, said he also entertained defection during travel to the Pan-American Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2007 and to the Olympics in Beijing last year. “Young Cubans don’t have any loyalty to the revolution,” Boza told a Miami newspaper. “We simply don’t want to stay there because we see no future… and I’m not daunted by the current economic crisis because in Cuba we were born in and have always lived in crisis.”
