Draft:Jetr Global Sports + Entertainment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jetr Global Sports + Entertainment is a Washington, D.C.-based immigration consultancy[1] focused on the sports industry. Started in 2022 by longtime government and sports executive Travis Murphy, the organization works with most major American sports leagues including the National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Football League (NFL), and Major League Soccer (MLS).

In addition to immigration consulting, Murphy has been outspoken on the need for the U.S. government to better utilize sports as a tool of foreign policy[2] and to prioritize immigration for professional sports.[3] In December of 2023, Murphy spoke at an event at the U.S. Department of State,[4] advocating for greater use of sports diplomacy.
