Commonwealth Games 2026 (Victoria) - GLASGOWED (1 Viewer)

I had no idea there was such a history of financial troubles behind the event :o
 
Inflict it on Glasgow again. Dig out that nightmarish mascot.
 
The QUEEN IS DEAD, literally the only reason the Commonwealth EXISTS.

I'm conflicted about the Commonwealth games. Anything so fundamentally royal family (and indeed EMPIRE) adjacent should be wiped from the face of the earth, along with the existence of a British royal family itself, BUT... I do like there being a mini, shitter Summer Olympics to break up the wait for the real thing. The best thing would be a rebrand, and tbh it does feel like the Commonwealth Games can't continue long-term in its current form.

The Eurovision Sport Contest - taking place every four years, for the countries of Europe plus Aus/NZ (and all the formerly colonised countries who still lick the boot of the Commonwealth) - would be a brilliant replacement, and a lot more popular :disco:
 
As an aside, if Australia doesn't want sport at its COMMONWEALTH GAMES, then it does NOT deserve sport at its OLYMPIC GAMES and the IOC should award the 2032 games elsewhere
 
Kind of annoyed about this- it’s time to just put a pin in it, I think. Politically and ethically for one thing. I do think this is a perfect excuse to get rid without actually admitting to those things.

The only way it’s going to work in the future is if it becomes a permanent UK- based competition. We have the support to turn up and make it make money.
 
We don’t want it!

*goes to every event*

It won’t have the same allure as it did in 2014 with it mopping up Australias shame.
 
We're going to get another opening ceremony with John Barrowman and Rod Stewart aren't we. :(
Will it even have things like that? Feels like it could be more of a European games style thing (then slowly put to bed)
