As many of you know who watch Esports there is an issue with players being deported due to visa issues. However K.C. has recently made a petition that if 100,000 sign it will allow them to travel to the US as an athlete and acknowledge that they're here for a sport. So far they have 49,000 signature's but they need 100,000 by the 29th of May so there's not much time left. Help out Esports as well as the players who participate in them!

I signed. It was brutal to have so many issues at the beginning of the Spring Split with teams having subs and second-strings playing because their starters were having visa issues. I'm hoping this is resolved very soon around the world to legitimize esports and the athletes who play around the world. Thanks for sharing!
