I've got to respectfully disagree. These players want to make some kind of political statement by using their tribal passports. That's fine. Unfortunately, the UK is making their own political statement, and that statement is we have treaties with the US & Canada that allow people traveling on US and Canadian passports to enter without visas. The UK has no such treaty with this tribe.

Perhaps the players should have thought about that before making their political statement. If you want to be your own country, then be your own country, and accept all the responsibility that comes with that - like negotiating visitation and immigration treaties with sovereign nations.

Cry me a river. The Iraqois are either American or they aren't. They can decide, and we can respond accordingly.

Official acceptance of such divisionalism/exceptionalism tells me: America was a great idea, but didn't last.

It's dead, Jim. Toast.

Stick a fork in it.

It's gone.

By accepting US or Canadian Passports and acquiescing to this solution would essentially have ceded the issue of sovereign recognition on a very significant level.
They are NOT part of the US or Canada, they have their own sovereign nation and should be recognized and accepted as such!
