LEGISLATION OVERVIEW: H.R. 10351 – THE TEAM USA ACT
Hopefully this current bill will be approved before Congress adjorns.
Why it matters
?
Why? Because for every international that recieves the scholarship, or money, or education,etc., that bumps an American. While this affects all global sports, basketball hopefuls should be most concerning. Poor kids, black ones predominately, have used basketball as a major and rare opportunity to lift themselves. No pun intended.
For every opportunity offered abroad, we often deny one of our most needy.
While this is a “sticky wicket”, the issue should be “on the agenda” in the making
of reasonable changes demanded ( NIL/PORTAL controls ).
