Could American readers please note that the first two words are correct in British English and should not be changed to "Sports play". Thank you. Philip 02:04, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
should this include greyhound racing, and possibly bloodsports?
- To be honest I'd not count either as a sport. One is just organised crulety and the other simply lottery balls on four legs (but I'd say that about horseracing too). Probably not a very NPOV justification for not including them though.....Grinner 09:40, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Not greyhound racing. It isn't a list of every minor sport that is practised in the UK, but a survey in which coverage is intended to be roughly proportionate to the signficance of the sports in the UK scene. Greyhound racing is almost invisible in the media unless you go looking for it. Horeseracing involves human athletes and is mainstream. Bloodsports aren't competitive sports like the others, and don't belong here imo. Wincoote 11:36, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] What is the correct name of the UK's Olympic team?
Is the UK's Olympic team "Great Britain" or "Great Britain and Northern Ireland"?

[edit] Damon Hill
The article Damon Hill is a current Featured Article Candidate. It's not generating a great amount of discussion, so if you have an interest in UK sports biography or UK motorsport, why not comment on it's suitability?
