"If we were to just hold the conference in Seattle, it would be significantly under-attended," Travers said of the annual conference where NASSS members meet and share research about the sociological study of sport.

Good call. They will now only be missing potential attendees from the states who are afraid to leave the country because they might be detained on their return.

attendees from the states who are afraid to leave the country because they might be detained ~~on their return~~

Why wait? There've been posts reporting exit checkpoints for people travelling from the US to Canada, if your name is on the wrong list, they might just grab you then
