"Venezuelan team denied entry into U.S. for Little League's senior tournament"

This is the title to an article dated 07/24/25 from Yahoo sports written by Jack Baer. It answers the question once and for all of what petty pricks Crumb The 1st and his people can be. The article notes that Rubio could have granted the visas but this was in line with his earlier decision to do the same thing to a women's volleyball team from Cuba that wanted to compete in an event in Puerto Rico.

We can be certain that any Russian teams will have no such problems and in fact will likely receive a State Department tour complete with an expansive explanation of our national intelligence apparatus and a warm "guest appearance" hug from Tulsi Gabbard.

Trump will order top players and entire teams from countries he's feuding with to be barred in order to help the US team probably.

is contrary to everything the Olympics and the notion of sportsmanship strives to stand for.

Not that any of that would keep the pedo in Chief from threatening a team if they don't revert back to a racist epithet, pocketing a player's gold medal, or absconding with the fkn trophy.

Wonder how much they'll have to PAY him to play.

With the upcoming World Cup, Olympics and Paralymics?
So many non white people coming into the country not to mention the handicap. We know what Krasnov thinks of handicap people.

The Nazi Olympics Berlin 1936
The 1936 Berlin Olympic Games were more than just a worldwide sporting event, they were a show of Nazi propaganda, stirring significant conflict. Despite the exclusionary principles of the 1936 Games, countries around the world still agreed to participate.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nazi-olympics-berlin-1936

Will this be Krasnov's attempt to prove Aryan superiority? Not to mention all the beautiful medals the asshole can steal

The world needs to cancel! (Sorry LA and noncult athletes)

quite yet because the promise of the Olympics might be what keeps Trump from actually prosecuting, imprisoning, and/or executing his opponents.
Hitler hid his anti-semitism and expansionist policies during the Olympics. There was a movement to boycott the 1936 Olympics which narrowly lost. It couldn't have happened later in his regime when his offences became more obvious. And of course, once he began waging war.

If Trump arrest Obama, for example, the Olympics will be removed from the US.

He is racist but I think he understands this basic concept.

I'm not sure he understands that there is a limit to the atrocities he can commit as president and keep the Olympics.

Who is known for cheating and will probably ban Scots from getting visas if he loses.
