The Commonwealth Games
 

Mickey Mouse games or a serious international sports event that actually matters?.... vote and discuss

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

They matter to Melbourne, although I think the associated arts festival is going to be better than the games.

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

Can I vote somewhere in between. I don't think its a Mickey mouse affair but I also don't think its serious international event.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of the events.

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

Ditto to that, Sports Sport...
Unless its Rugby League ;)

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

Isn't the Commonwealth Games the third biggest sporting event in the world after the Olympics and the World Cup?

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

Yep definitely micky mouse as the opening and closing ceromonies yet to sell out and tickets available for all events.

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

I'd go to one of the ceremonies if it wasn't so expensive :scared:

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

Definitely Mickey Mouse games, how anyone can take seriously a final where the entrants wouldn't even appear at the Olympics or World championships. Plus the idea of a Commonwealth is something that belongs in the 19th Century.

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

Yeah but you know me, so you know I'm rarely serious. :p

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

I don't mind watching the female gymnastics or diving for the fit birds, also some of them pole vaulters are worth a good schlonging but apart from that it is a major :zzz:
Mickey Mouse.

Re: The Commonwealth Games

Re: The Commonwealth Games
 

Nooo its good, anything inspiring peeps to get off their arse and keep fit is good in my book :D

Mickey mouse games - only created so that the "sissy" countries could brag about winning a gold medal. ;)

Its the winter olympics that really separates the men from the boys! ;)
