2021 Summer Olympics

Bit of a scare for GB in the rugby 7s.
21 nil down to USA in the first half.
Eventually came back to win 26-21 but it was a close run thing.
Great to see the US playing so well, good results like this can only improve the popularity of rugby and help grow the sport.

Late game collapse was the theme of these olympics apparently.

Just too many mistakes from the USA in the second half in the end but a dominant first half.

Congratulations to Hawaii's Carissa Moore for her Gold in the first ever Olympic surfing competition.



Now that's a proper flag.

National interest is transitory.

I agree, patriotism on the other hand is just love for the story of my people.

Patriotism is Nationalism. See my previous comment.
All Lives don't matter.

Nope, patriotism expresses love for your country through extolling its virtues and achievements while nationalism relies on denigrating others to raise itself.

[C-Mag]

Patriotism is a great thing. However, todays tyrants don't believe that, and anyone thinks they can straddle that fence is foolish.

Patriotism is racist
‘True patriotism’ and ‘good patriotism’ are half-hearted attempts to launder xenophobia and ethnocentrism.

Yeah man, Rule Britannia, eh wot!

Yeah man, Rule Britannia, eh wot!

well, not to be pedantic, but India joined the British Empire on 10 February 1763, along with Canada

so actually, there were millions of Muslims in the British Empire, from the moment it was born

and it was the Empire that brought them to the UK, to fight the Germans on the Western Front
