Venezuelan Baseball League Canceled Due to US Military Intervention

The Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP) has been canceled indefinitely due to the armed intervention and bombings carried out by the United States in Venezuela on Saturday. As reported by the Argentine News Agency, during the historic events of this Saturday, January 3rd, Venezuela is experiencing an unprecedented crisis for both the country and Latin America, due to the armed intervention and bombings by the United States at dawn with the aim of capturing President Maduro and his wife to transfer them to the American city of New York and try them for 'narcoterrorism'. In this context, Venezuela's national sport was forced to halt its league, which was in the Round Robin stage, the final phase before the Final Series. In the first week of this stage, only two games were played on Friday, with the Cardenales de Lara winning 6-5 against the Caribes de Anzoátegui and the Águilas de Zulia winning 4-3 against the Navegantes de Magallanes. The games scheduled for this Saturday, January 3rd, were canceled, and the organization indicated that they will evaluate the situation 'day by day', without setting a date for resumption. Weeks earlier, the Caribbean Baseball Confederation had decided to strip Venezuela of the organization of the Caribbean Series for political reasons, moving it to the Mexican city of Jalisco.
