It was announced Saturday that the Cacique Mara Little League team from Venezuela was denied entry for this year's Senior League Baseball World Series. Unfortunately, they were "unable to obtain the appropriate visas" after the U.S. placed a travel restriction on Venezuela and several other countries. The Cacique Mara little league team is furious about this development...

quote:
"It is a mockery on the part of Little League to keep us here in Bogotá with the hope that our children can fulfill their dreams of participating in a world championship," the Venezuelan team said. "What do we do with so much injustice, what do we do with the pain that was caused to our children?"

These are things that are needed to be done to nudge their govt in the right direction. Especially if we don't want boots on the ground. Anyone that hates that millions trekked their way up here in 4yrs need to thank Obama for supporting Chavez. Went from a wonderful successful nation to a hellscape in less than 20 yrs. Thanks solely to Leftie (ie Democrat) policy.

Why hold a tournament in a country that won’t let all teams attend? Move it to another country for the kid’s sake.

That is sick, sports is a shared experience and a great tool for diplomacy. This makes NO sense and it denies children who idolize America. Sad

Politics should be left out of sports, especially when it comes to kids. IMO.

Larry, stay in the Spirinac/Cavinder HOV lanes. No one here cares about Bogota Little League.

These restrictions occurred after the season started. Should send the semi-final teams to play them there. If they win, play the finals there.
