Mayer playing in U19 tournament

[Wolegib]

It looks like Purdue will have 2 players playing in the upcoming U19 tournament. Israel will be participating and Mayer is on their team.

I thought Israel pulled out and was replaced with Lithuania or some country

So that is like a few years back when we had Edy on the Canada team.

Israel considered pulling out but decided it was safe to travel so they are going to travel to Switzerland to play in the FIBA U 19 championship

Don't feel good about it, Israel's got a bullseye on them ....looking for cells to make political statements. Protection for Mayer and team. 🙏

If we strike Iran…Iran might give the go ahead for sleeping cells to awake.

We bombed Iran. Me thinks Iran will have bigger targets to attack, kidnap, assassinate besides some teenage Israel basketball players. I would believe the U.S. players are more at risk! Iran now hates the U.S. a lot more

Not possible. They have called for death to America and have been at war with us for decades.

Your understanding of world diplomacy is about as strong as your understanding of college sports.

Israel has now shut down airspace and flights to and from the country, so looks like maybe plans for the basketball team to travel and play might not take place after all
