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

fireeater

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

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

walla

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

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

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

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.

Its a true saying, you can't please all the people all the time.














especially whinging poms.

You re-born again jocks are all the same

Bordy

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

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
Mickey Mouse.

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!
