if ping pong diplomacy is acknowledged as a textbook example of diplomacy, then the iranian soccer team coming to play in the us should be recognized as a form of diplomacy too!

US State Department counts American players entering China in 1971 as "Ping Pong Diplomacy"
https://diplomacy.state.gov/ping-pong-diplomacy-historic-1971-u-s-table-tennis-trip-to-china/
So we have the US government themselves saying this scenario counts, with Iranian Team scheduled to arrive in Califonia on June 15th

The US State Department itself represents a similar scenario, the US Ping Pong Team entering China in 1971, as Diplomacy.

scammers will try to p1 this even though we have US x Cuba Diplomatic Meeting precedent, Russia x Ukraine Diplomatic Meeting precedent, Ping Pong Diplomacy historical precedent, US State Dept classification of Ping Pong Diplomacy as Diplomacy, both Trump and Iran making a big deal of Visa approval process, etc.
<@941405798096076880> can we get a pre-emptive clarification?

Cuba precedent: meeting does not have to be classified as diplomatic to count. show me one article, or US southcom/Cuba saying it was diplomatic. they didnt, and market went p2

this isn;t a scam. everything points to it being P2.
US x Cuba Diplomatic Meeting precedent: meeting does not need to be explicitly classified as diplomatic to count.
Ukraine x Russia Diplomatic precedent: meeting does not have to have high-level officials present.
Ping Pong Diplomacy Historical precedent: explicit classification from the US state department of a similar scenario (US table tennis team simply visiting China in 1971 counting as diplomacy).
Surrounding Context: Trump, Marco Rubio, US Ambassador to Turkey, and Iran have all commented on the Visa approval process for the Iranian team which was finally granted, meaning it is clearly significant and is a state-level matter, with US head of state even commenting on it
