closure of Invictus games

I  watched the end of the Invictus games ceremonies and was genuinely inspired by Prince Harry's sincerity and dedication to something he started a year ago. His mother must be so proud of him.  I also enjoyed watching the Boss and Bryan Adams sing their heart out too.

looking forward to the  next games in sydney - might even try to get there!

I love the idea of the games and I am always in awe of the competitors... But I just cannot watch these unfortunate and courageous people on TV, it's just not 'entertainment' for me, I just cannot enjoy the 'spectacle'

well I'm  not sure whether "they" or "harry" regard it as entertainment for the masses - they do what they do because of the challenge it gives them - we watch  able bodied people compete in 'games' so why not "not fully able bodied people" IMO they need our support so I think your sentiment is a personal issue that  you need to deal with yourself!

but I know what you mean physically approaching any disabled person is a challenged for some abled body persons - the disabled can handle it - it is the abled that often can't!!

I'm sure you are correct Dave .... Honesty has always been my undoing

honesty imo is never an undoing it always leads to enlightenment but the enligtenment can be a bit scary to start with !

I didn't watch the games personally because (maybe a bit unusual for a bloke) I'm not particularly into sport. Able bodied or disabled competitors, it doesn't matter to me. All equally not watched. :) 

I saw a few clips of the games on the News though and it seems lots of people enjoyed the events. Good for them I say. I can admire the courage, work and determination everyone puts in, even though I'm no sports fan.
