BAN ON FOREIGNERS REPRESENTING THE HOME NATIONS OF THE UK IN A SPORT
To be picked to represent your country in a sport is a privilege not a right of passage. International sport is about country vs country. Presently, too many foreign born and rasied individuals are being allowed to represent the home nations in a sport without having any links to those home nations whatsoever. The general lack of rigid rules on qualifcation criteria is making a mockery of international sport. It is unfair on home grown sportsman, unfair on the opposition and is also cheating.
I propose that to represent a home nation of the UK in a sport an individual would need to meet the following 2 criteria:
a) an individual must be born and raised in that home nation
b) one/or both of the individuals parents must be born and raised in that home nation.
Please support my e-petition!
