Venezuelan Little League team forced to skip World Series after Trump denies visa for annual event: “The players are demoralized,” Cacique Mara wrote in a statement in Spanish on social media earlier this week. “The only thing that they know is baseball. They want to go to compete and put the name Venezuela and Latin American on high. They don’t represent any threat, they are 15-year-olds that want to win the world series.”

The things we're going to have to do someday to convince the world that a majority of folks don't want the US to be a pariah nation...

At this point, if FIFA said: "we thought we were on solid geopolitical footing for 2026 but we were wrong and have decided to just stage the World Cup in Canada and Mexico", I would totally understand their reasoning.
