This was closed ? Why ?
FWIW, the list of "Middle Eastern Poker Players" was straight from Google and the cited Cardplayerlifestyle link. I did not make it up and its not a troll.
FWIW, the first player listed, Antonio, was born in Iran and has tweeted bout the ban.
Of course the "list" copied from Google and a known industry publication has errors, that was part of the point .....
That is why I included the warning about the source .... a little too subtle I guess.
The effect of travel ban on Las Vegas is a topic for real discussion.
You should unlock it and I'd be glad to post the above .....
Maybe try again without a list of people that includes several people not from the seven banned countries. As gobbo posted it did appear that you just chose seven random brown people without doing proper research on this important issue. Your explanation here explains the list and it is a reasonable explanation.
The thread may also get too political and may not end up being suitable for NVG if past quasi-political threads are any indication. I have a tough time seeing it being about poker rather than "politics", trump stuff etc. But if you want to give it another try, we can see how it goes. Be sure not to list people who are not from the seven banned countries.
