That shows again how shit that web site is, and any of their news 'reports'.
Joe Blow that pulls up to the window at the Peace Bridge with assault convictions is probably going to be turned around. That much is true.
Professional athletes of non-US citizenship enter the US on P-1A work visas. Even if Kassian is convicted of assault, he's still eligible for a P-1A visa based on multiple sections of the law, part of that being the definition of a bar fight not meeting the standard of 'moral turpitude'.
Patrick Moran and his cronies need to shut the fuck up. Kassian's professional career is not jeopardized in the slightest for immigration reasons.
