Sunday, Iran changes its mind (based on the federal judge action) -- (link)

the American team would be granted visas in part because of the decision by a U.S. federal judge to “halt the execution of discriminatory restrictions against the entrance of Iranian citizens to America,” (www.latimes.com)

Glad to hear that but we need to keep politics and sports separated. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 6, 06:24 10
- which is what all the Pats' fans have been saying. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:40 5
  - Their politics doesn't matter to me. My team owners are pro-Trump. They still cheated many times which is where most of the hate comes from. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 6, 06:48 4
    - and as you well know the Jets lead the list on the 'Your Team Cheats Too' chart. Do you need to see it posted here again? -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:49 3
      - We're second! Finally something we're good at! ;-) Two were serious but the rest minor and common in the NFL. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:52 2
        
        Cheating and winning makes people extra angry about it. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:52 1
        
        mess -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:53
- If the ban were in effect, wouldn't it stop the Iran wrestling team from coming here? -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 06:33 1
  - Probably not as they'd get a sports visa. Despite the crazy ban I can't see us banning a sports team from coming here to compete. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:38
- Wish we could, but there is a long history of them being intertwined -- nm - Strongbad Feb 6, 06:27 1
  - I know and in just about every instance it was wrong. Sports should and do bring us together. They're almost always good for helping relations. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:30
