Is DHS ignoring Sports over money? Say it ain't so!

Need more proof of Trump/Noem/DHS Hypocrisy? Look no farther than American Sports.

Are there any or even one sports “temporary (or even, legal) minority or immigrant player” who has been observed, questioned, detained or arrested? Yet Americans with Latin or foreign (especially Middle Eastern) sounding names, accents or skin colors are being grabbed seemingly at random. But DHS also goes looking for specifics…almost as though they have lists like SS Numbers, Medical records, Phone info, Driver Licenses or they’re on trump’s vengeance or wanted lists. Wonder where those lists came from? If we ask, they will probably “DOGE” the question.

But more to the point. How many “temporary immigrant” or minority athletes are here, BUT...playing for uber wealthy, mostly White Men? Has any one of them, who is making lots of money for themself AND the organization’s owners even been considered a “problem” to be detained, questioned or deported – since they may not be Trump’s “America”? Hardly!

Lots of minority faces and names in sports that, if they were simply working for Home Depot or others, might just be rounded up and deported. However, these people are making money, lots of it, for the Owners. And if those owners lost a few of their key players, they’d also lose MONEY. And if we know one thing about this administration, it’s “them what has, are allowed to get as much as they can and to keep what they got!”

IOKIYAR. Black, Latin or foreign only in sports must be exempt from Trump/Noem/DHS observation if they are making money for their “OWNER!”

Unsportsmanlike conduct, stolen base, illegal substitution or “traveling” might become grounds for deportation – for non sports White ‘Muricans…and Bad Bunny.

Next time you watch Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey remember Minnesota.

Next up…Women’s Sports!
