Olympics 2012: Wales & Great Britain

Summary:

Two famous Welsh football players agreed to play for Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics, according to their manager Gary Speed.  They are keen to play at the Games next summer, they even promoted Great Britain already by wearing the GB shirt at a photo-shoot.  This has causes some trouble though. The people from Wales think they shouldn’t play for Great Britain because they think Wales is a separate country. They see this as some kind of betrayal against Wales. In the end the decision is up to the players to either play for GB or not.

My opinion:

I think if Wales has some great football players they should be allowed to play for Great Britain at the Olympics, and the support of Wales should assist their players and NOT let them down like they do now. Wales is part of Great Britain, so why not let the Welsh football players play for GB? It doesn’t make any sense if they couldn’t or if they get hold up by their own people from Wales. Welsh people should be proud that they have some people playing for Great Britain instead of disagreeing with the whole situation.
