The Commonwealth games in themselves sound as colonialist as it gets. I always cheer on West Indies to beat England in cricket.  I bet that upsets a lot of very silly people. Disagree, they used to be called the Empire games. That sounds more colonialist. Your cheering didn't do the Windies any good last month did it. Series whitewash with England winning with 2 days to spare each time. |

Disagree, they used to be called the Empire games. That sounds more colonialist. Your cheering didn't do the Windies any good last month did it. Series whitewash with England winning with 2 days to spare each time. So, let me get this straight - because they were called the Empire games, the Commonwealth games doesn't sound colonialist? Great logic there, and I'm guessing calling someone colored is better than the n-word and is slightly less racist? I don't expect them to win, they haven't won in a long time unfortunately, but I certainly would have liked them to. Teams have a habit of losing when I cheer them on so I'll make sure to cheer on whatever team you support in future  |

It annoys me when athletes thank God when they win but never blame him when they lose.

We didn't seem to have a clue how to score even when 2 men up. So have to say India deserved it |

Did the Ancient Greeks have anything comparable? |
