It's really time to rethink these ' Common Wealth Games' seems now like a glorification of an old British colonial empire hosting those who were once colonized!!!!
Is this reason to celebrate and host? Should this even exist under this banner? In the opening ceremonies- even had to sign ' God Save the Queen"
I recalled even in standard 7 back in the days lining up in rows and standing in teh hot sun to sing this at school. I refused- and quickly teacher playing colonial master cracked a whip on my arse for not singing!!!!
Why do I need to glorify the royal masters who reigned domination over the colonizers? and today with this realization I watch these games with a new awakening of what it symbolize- just my opinion
There is nothing wrong with the games. It is just that our sports sucks and we don't or can't even win bronze medals. At one time it was real important. But now it has be relegate a tier down. The World TF championship is more important, at least for TF athletes. Evn PanAm games has dropped to tiers. But it is important that our athletes participate.
