A country with visa restrictions so bad it interferes with the game simply shouldn’t be allowed to host these events. The US should not be treated as a safe, normal country to host major events. In general, the human rights bar needs to be raised for anything international in nature.

America isn’t in financial trouble because we have to help the poor. We’re in financial trouble because we can’t satisfy the rich. After the midterms Epstein-republicans will defund our social security and Medicare. The Big theft is planned
