Trump came for an unannounced visit shortly before the start of the Miami GP.

Throwing out / denying access to a civilian is not "causing an international incident".

Just as their PR can write up a calm statement why he was allowed, they could have come up with a calm statement why he wasn't.

Sports was never and will never be not political. See your Putin example, or the last world cup, or the taking a knee protests,...

The fuck you mean sports isn't political? So I guess saying the national anthem while having jets flying above isn't political....

The Olympics deciding who can and can't compete based on what their countries government is doing isn't political..

Maybe you read that sentence again:

Sports was never and will never be not political.
