Team Gb Name

[Midland Red]

Can enybody explain to me why the england team is called team GB ?

 

the team consistes of 5 english men born in england yet they ride with a union jack ? and not the red and white cross of st george ! the patrant saint of england,

during another forum topic i called scotland GB and also wales (cardif in fact ) GB i was corrected by a scotch man who said scotland in paticular glasgow is not GB its scotland,

and like wise by the weLsh man cardif is wales not GB ?,

I was then banned from the sitem - (Mod Note, one big fat lie - see below) e the reason they said i was racist and non patriotic because i was calling my 5 fellow ENGLISH men ENGLISH and not great british ,one moderator posted chris harris was born in cornwall not england ?? he was allegedly irish i think !.

Could eny body help is glasgow /edinburgh in great britan or scotland are edinburgh being non patriotic when they hold the scotish open not the great british open.

Is my sat nav wrong when i enter cardif and it says cardif wales and not great britan !.

If i go to ediinburgh /glasgow they fly scotish flags and newport welsh why is this if they are great british !.

Will newport hold the great british open next year or the welsh agen ?.

SO WHY ARE ENGLAND NOT CALLED ENGLAND?????????????? .

What I can't get my head round is the phrase "Team GB"

What's wrong with calling the team "Great Britain"?

It sounds like another Americanisation

"Team England"? - no, it's "England"

"Team Wales"? - no, it's "Wales"

Thankfully, the SWC and Sky captions all referred to "Great Britain"
