Travel Ban Plays Favorites: Little League or Little Lie?
The State Department showed what they call 'sports exemption' inconsistency by denying entry to one Venezuelan Little League team while letting another in. NPR's Scott Simon aptly questions this oddity, implying the travel ban is applied like a bad umpire's call. 'How the sports exemption to Trump's travel ban is being applied' feels less like policy and more like a punchline.

If the travel ban were a baseball game, itâd be called for strikes on some kids while others get a free home run. Sportsmanship apparently only applies when your visa papers score higher than your batting average.
Nothing says fairness like letting one Venezuelan Little League team play while benching their neighbors. Guess the travel ban has a better scouting report on who sucks at traveling.
The travel banâs sports exemption is the only game where âyour team isnât good enoughâ means âyour nationality isnât good enough.â Who needs fairness when youâve got bureaucracy?
