If they went through the legitimate process to qualify then they should be allowed to come here and play.

Little League said it was told some of the Ugandan players' visas contained discrepancies.


Better to nip this cheating shite in the bud before they compete.

Seriously...it was probably something real like lack of yellow fever vaccination. I did a Safari in Kenya and once I had their stamp in my passport, I couldn't get into half of Europe without showing health docs.

Arabian-American team from Dhahran head to World Series.

quote:

The State Department last week said some visa applications for Ugandan players included birth records altered to make players appear younger. Youth ages 11 or 12 as of April 30 can play in the World Series, which runs Aug. 18-28.


So basically America gets another team in the tourney.

I was thinking it was some sort of health concern.
