Trump’s gross racism bars referee set to referee World Cup:
Award-winning Somali referee Omar Artan, set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, was denied entry to the United States, a sports ministry official told AFP on Monday.It was not immediately clear why Artan was barred from entering the US at Miami International Airport, but Somalia is one of several countries on a travel ban list introduced by President Donald Trump's administration.
This isn’t immigration, this is an international sports competition and he is a highly regarded professional. Just the basest kind of racism and prejudice.
