5:55Now PlayingThe Tibetan women’s soccer team has been denied entry into the United States. Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich, and Grace Baldridge, the hosts of The Young Turks, break down why they weren’t allowed in. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Fifteen players of a Tibetan women’s soccer team have been refused US visas as guests of a Texas tournament, raising questions about what policy Donald Trump will take toward the contested region.
The team, Tibet Women’s Soccer, had planned to take part in this spring’s Dallas Cup tournament for young players, and was invited by organizers to stay with local players in the tradition of several previous diversity programs, including a Catholic-Protestant team from Ireland and a Muslim-Jewish team from Israel.
On Friday, however, the players were told by US embassy officials in Delhi that they did not merit permission to take the 10-day trip.
“What they said is we don’t have strong reasons to go to Dallas,” said Jamyang Chotso, a team captain. “But I think this is not the reason for them to reject us. [We] think the reason is they think we might run away when we reach there.”
