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, it’d 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 ban’s sports exemption is the only game where ‘your team isn’t good enough’ means ‘your nationality isn’t good enough.’ Who needs fairness when you’ve got bureaucracy?
