A - Da.
B - Kakve su sanse da neko nema pasos? Profesionalni sportisti, igraju svake godine u Torontu, pripreme, letovanja...
C - Cak i da se nadje neko bez pasosa i da ga ne puste na lepe oci, ako NFL ne moze da sredi nekom za 3 dana pasos, onda jebiga.... (ja sam svojevremeno u Srbistanu, bez ikakvih veza, sa sve vojnim odsekom dobio pasos za 3 dana kad sam morao hitno na sluzbeni put).
No.. u medjuvremenu:

Passport requirements have been a complicated and ever changing issue for U.S. travellers to Canada for the past few years due to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), which was introduced in 2004 by the U.S. government to strengthen U.S. border security and standardize travel documentation.
Visitors from any country other than the U.S. have always needed a passport to enter Canada. On the other hand, because of a friendly border crossing agreement between Canada and the United States, Canada Border Services did not require U.S. citizens to present a passport to enter Canada. This friendly border crossing agreement used to be mutual; however, now the WHTI requires that U.S. citizens have a passport to return home. In this way, passport requirements for Canada and U.S. borders are different on paper, but, are in practice, the same. Canada will not allow a U.S. citizen into the country who does not have the proper documentation to return home.
Tipično američki, rekao bih. Mogu da izađu iz zemlje bez pasoša ali ne mogu da se vrate. Zbog toga ih Kanađani ne puštaju u Kanadu ako nemaju pasoš kojim bi mogli da se vrate.
I ne mislim da neko nema pasoš ali uvek je moguće da je nekome u međuvremenu istkao a nije ga produžio jer nema u planu put u inostranstvo. I nije samo reč o 50+ igrača, tu ima još više trenera i raznog pomoćnog osoblja. Koje su šanse da 300-400 ljudi, računajući oba tima, baš svi imaju sređene dokumente? Plus, u Bafalu je sve stalo, tek tamo nema ko da im reši papirologiju.
I, naravno, to je u celoj situaciji najmanji problem ali sigurno još jedna stvar na koju treba misliti.
