but could you imagine the dominance of an anglican (or anglica?)olympic team?we'd rule."here,just hand over the hockey and basketball medals here at the opening ceremonies."




At the moment. Things do not remain static.

I can't imagine Europe fielding one combined Olympic team either. Why would the teams need to be united? In the largest sporting competition on the planet - the Football World Cup - England have a different team from Scotland despite both being part of Britain.

Now. Here's a curly one.

What would Quebec do?
