How do different cultural groups view sports based on political pressures versus economical pressures?

I have provided the two readings that will be a basis of my teaching lesson for everyone to read. They will be shortened up in the upcoming week to get the reader to see the true vision of what question I am trying to convey to them. These two articles are identical in the scene of showing what baseball is like in their respective countries. Dominican Republic and Cuba are neighboring islands, but they share very different views on the culture, religion, and life of baseball. Being a communistic country, Cuba is more constrained as a society and more than discourages any members from leaving for the Major Leagues. The dictator Fidel Castro labels Major League Baseball players that are Cuban as traidores al beisbol (baseball traiters). On the other hand, Dominican Republic has a capitalist society, such as America does. These individuals look at baseball as an “economic salvation” from their poverty stricken country. Education systems in Dominican Republic have shown no sign of improvement in economical stature as well, so these young kids grow up in a fight for their lives to make it to Major League Baseball in order to better their situations. This population dense (211 people per sq. km.), high unemployment rated (14.9% of population) country of Dominican Republic uses the ritual of baseball as a way of life to try and save their families and themselves from impoverishment. Cubans do it for another cause, which is for political freedom from the communist ways of the country and to be considered a revolutionary hero of Cuba, defying all odds even when the government dismays you. The big question I want you to be able to answer by the end of my 30 minutes is, “How do different cultural groups view sports based on political pressures versus economical pressures?” This will be answered with many visuals, passages, and engaging questions that I will provide at the time of the lesson.
