SHOULD THE US GOVERNMENT GRANT CUBA A VISA TO PLAY IN THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC?

The World Baseball Classic, occuring in March, is a sort of round-robin competition involving 16 countries. Cuba was supposed to be one of the countries, but the US government originally denied Cuba a visa to play.

My thinking is, why deny Cuba a visa? This is athletic competition -- pure goodwill here. I know the US and Cuba are by no means friends, but since this is an internationally sanctioned event -- nothing political.

Major League Baseball is going to re-apply for a permit for Cuba to play in the upcoming WBC. Should Cuba be allowed to play?

Yes they should -- it's nothing more than international athletics.
No they shouldn't -- the US and Cuba aren't friendly.
