“It does worry me a lot that he could be elected president,’’ said San Francisco Giants infielder Ramiro Pena, a native of Monterrey, Mexico. “For the Latin community, I think it would make things more difficult when it comes to immigration, based on what he has said. The comments he has made about Mexicans worry you.’’

One Venezuelan veteran, who requested anonymity for fear of retribution, said of Trump: “If that guy wins, the United States is going to become like Venezuela under (President Nicolas) Maduro.’’

so you found a few examples in one sport to back up your claim that it happens in every sport?

Once article dated Published 8:03 p.m. ET July 7, 2016 before Trump was even elected....nice reach

"MLB is aware of the travel ban that involves Venezuela and we have contacted the appropriate government officials to confirm that it will not have an effect on our players traveling to the U.S.," the league said in a statement.
