These are 13 to 16 year old kids who won the Latin American championship to qualify to play here. If you want to say the government of their country sucks, fine, but what does that have to do with these kids?
A petty and disgusting decision from an administration run by a petty and vindictive sociopath.

Well add to that that woman giving Trump a million dollars and a month later her son has a get out of jail free card. Which BTW was a federal crime where he would have to had paid back FOUR MILLION so he got out of jail and no more 4 mil fine.
Or you buy my crypto coin and the one who buys the most gets a nice din din at the WH AND a tour AND wink wink, my ear because now your problems are MY problems so what is going on here, I'll fix it.
Or how about the Iran bombing run. Trump the puppet gets sucked into that raid which might even had produced results but Trump not able to keep his mouth shut about a FKING TOP SECRET mission goes what? Bomb Iran? Maybe I will, maybe I won't, nobody knows.
Well the Iranians knew.
Because that ASSHOLE of a POTUS puked all that out, the Iranians had DAYS to get stuff out, like the sat photo of DOZENS of big trucks hauling out centrifuges and 60% enriched uranium.
So if Trump had ordered a NUKE on that site it would have done basically nothing to their nuclear program because he spilled the beans, I guess thinking, well NOT thinking of the consequences of not having the slightest CLUE what he did when he talked all the crap out before hand.
For instance, lets look at Obama when he took out Omsama Bid Ladin. Funniest thing, he didn't say a WORD to the public before hand, a secret mission that STAYED secret.
You can imagine maybe what Bin Ladin would have done had he had 2 days notice, hell ONE HOUR notice.
But Obama actually had a head on his shoulders as opposed to the orange blob Trump calls his brain.
That Iran mission could have actually succeeded in setting back their nuclear program for years but blabber mouth POTUS blew the secret right out of the water so they got a LOT of stuff out, centrifuges, highly enriched uranium out on dozens of trucks two days before the attack.
BESIDES the reason he did the bomb run in the first place, being such a puppet he let NatenYAHOO convince him to attack because Iran lost their air power by Israeli military so naturally he fell for the ploy.
And that kids team is just one of many such crap from this imitation of a human being.
@no1marauder saidIt is called the 'Policy of Containment', which Im sure you already know. Sports does not and can not take precedence over national interest or security. If leaders in a country decide to go rogue, become something the world hates [eg Communist or Islamic State], then proceed to abuse foreign investors, abuse their own people, nationalise local industries or large firms without fair compensation, then they should be man enough to accept the consequences of their decisions. One consequence [and there are many] is that Venezuelans will be denied US visas. Tell the sports team to blame Chavez and Madhuro, and the other communist fools in Venezuela.

@no1marauder
Yes, the government of THEIR country sucks.
That's why you should blame Venezuela, not the USA.
@no1marauder saidA very good point, I agree wholeheartedly. All of the politicky thing is truly a. game when we think about it. I have often thought how wonderful and big of all the countries, even if at war ala hitler, they take a respite, and step back to allow all of their champions to compete.

Now this? There is no difference, for god sakes.
@sonhouse saidYou need to calm TF down. The man raised a specific issue, which is the denial of visas to Venezuelans. This is a standard policy of the US for almost a century. Why all the continued irrelevant nonsense about Trump?
WHAT? Our BELOVED POTUS a sociopath. Who would have known🙂

@no1marauder saidI'm not much for links, but I just read this after I read below where our eloquent Sonhouse blamed it on Trump, what a surprise.

I see it is under review. I predict! (sorry, i get carried away) that they will lift the ban and bring the kids!!! I will pull for them over all the other teams!!
@Rajk999 saidA predictable response from someone who's already said it's OK to kill kids IF their parents have the "wrong" political views.

It's unjust to punish someone for something they had nothing to do with. You really need to reconsider your lack of a moral code.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidIt's the US government doing it, not the Venezuelan one.

One should blame who is responsible.
@no1marauder saidHamas, with the full support of the Gazans, violated all standards of the Geneva Convention regarding war. They raped and killed civilians. They took hostages which they continue to torture, rape and kill. No quarter should be granted to them, and no law or Geneva Convention should be applied when dealing with them, including killing their children.

You kill my children. I kill yours. Its a simple principle.
You dont want yours killed? Dont kill mine.
Your moral codes is based on gross hypocrisy. You have one rule for these terrorists and communists whom you support and you have another for everyone else.
Venezuela voted in a communist party and Chavez came into power in 1999. He almost immediately started expelling foreigners, confistating their land and assets mostly without compensation, or unfair compensation. Did you agree with that move? Im pretty sure you did. All of that, leads to this ... no visa. You cannot hate Americans, want death to Amerians, steal their property and chase them out of your country, and NOW YOU WANT A F ... ING VISA !!! Lol .. Go to hell.

It still falls back on Venezuela for being so effed up.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidWhat is worse is that a team of teens will often come with a parent or 2, and a whole group of supporters and officials. This is easily about 50 people. Half of them will disappear in the US, and never return to that Venezuela $$ithole.

@no1marauder saidI recall when President Carter’s response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was to boycott the Moscow Olympics. A whole lot of promising young athletes were mighty disappointed. That too was politics interfering with sports, was it not?

@AverageJoe1 saidUnfortunately that's not going to happen; the tournament has already started with a team from more politically acceptable Mexico replacing the Venezuela one. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2025/slbws/tournaments/world-series/
