The American known as “The Worm” is set to arrive Tuesday in Pyongyang, becoming an unlikely ambassador for sports diplomacy at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and North Korea.
Rodman, three members of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, a VICE correspondent and a production crew from the company are visiting North Korea to shoot footage for a new TV show set to air on HBO in early April, VICE told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview before the group’s departure from Beijing.

Will they send him to be a morale booster at their “special” camps??

Fooled me, I thought this was about John “f’n” Kerry, our new Sec of State.

Maybe “high profile” as in, “he’s tall”???? Otherwise I’d call it a no-profile visit.
