Martinique's council adopted this new one (and a territorial anthem too!) It used to be the snake flag. Interesting, they used the French flag when they competed in Barranquilla. I wonder if they’ll switch over now? I’m not really in favor of them completing since their actually a full part of the French Republic, but whatever. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Yeah they can't actually display the flags because they're wholly unofficial. All the same they are represented by the unofficial flags most places online, including NORCECA, Wikipedia results and even Apple emojis. I agree it's weird for them to compete as they're basically like what Hawaii is to the US. Then again we might start to see Hawaii in the Pacific Games so...

Yeah, Hawaii definitely shouldn’t be competing because it’s a whole ass state, but I’ll let the PGC do what they want. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

To be fair, one of the main fun things about these events is to see 'nations' (or entities, whatever you want to call it) compete which you normally don't see in the big world championships and Olympics.

Right, but that’s what the Island Games are for... I think the Pacific Games should be reserved for Oceanic countries, free association territories, or dependencies which are self-governing and part of another country. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Werloc 3,127 Posted April 6, 2020 #1180 Share Posted April 6, 2020 What a second, there used to be a lot more threads shown in the 'Latest Replies' section, wasn't it? Or are my eyes just glitching, because right now there's only eight, and I think there used to be a lot more than just eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
