The Cubans are not playing this week in the US, nor do they play in Europe or any Norcecas in the US or Canada. I assume that is because the Cuban federation doesn't want them to defect.
If that is the case, is that an issue for anyone?

No issue whatsoever. I'd welcome them with open arms, and help them defect if that is what they wanted.

I didnt mean a problem with them defecting, I meant Cuba not letting them play

I didnt mean a problem with them defecting, I meant Cuba not letting them play So... You want to ban the Cubans from playing because they aren't allowed to play. If they later are allowed to play, would you propose then lifting the ban? |

I dont necessarily want to ban them but I do think there is something exploitive about the way the Cuban government uses athletes. If I were the FIVB, I would consider whether thats something I wanted to be a part of. |

Their defecting might be the only solution to the lack of young talent in the U.S.

sports federations should stay far away from politics.
