Who is going to be there in Vegas? (I meant TTD forum members who are spectators; I don't mean about the players).

Table tennis is a broke sport. In a real sport, this is fixed with phone calls.

“
Hugo submitted his application, but given the longer than usual confirmation time by US authorities, he contacted Customs and Border Protection (CBP). He was then informed that he was no longer eligible for visa waiver because he had traveled to Cuba in 2023 to compete in the Pan American Championships and the qualifying event for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, events organized by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

Given the situation, Hugo made every effort to obtain an emergency visa, counting on the support of the United States Table Tennis Association (USATT) and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC). The emergency appointment was approved, but there was no availability for a consular interview that would allow him to arrive in time for the start of the competition.”

This is just SO STUPID.

Insane. As if the US congress passing a bill today that will bankrupt the federal government wasn't depressing enough, now this. It's almost as though we have idiots making decisions.

They are not idiots, they are just arrogant self-serving neo-liberalists

They know very well how to benefit themselves at the cost of others
