According to a report from LetsRun.com, only four of the 18 Ethiopian U20 athletes had their U.S. visa applications accepted

For the last four decades, Ethiopia has won a medal at every World XC Championships. It’s an unbelievable 44-year streak built on dominance and talent. But the streak is now in jeopardy. On Tuesday, it was reported that more than a dozen Ethiopian athletes were denied travel visas to the U.S. ahead of this weekend’s World XC Championships in Tallahassee, Fla.

FIFA already bribed Trump with their peace prize. He's stupid enough to fall for the transparent flattery and let the World Cup happen without problems.

    Lol, do you think the racists he's enabling at all levels of government are a tap he can turn on and off? They are driving out the same people and forcing racist policies on those that don't agree. Look at what's happening to trans people. Their documents are being rescinded or they can no longer get them.
