Fair play. I can't see many people writing articles specifically on the geographical elements of the

Ok, after a quick search, I am unable to find any scholarly reference to the GW euro-centrism, although I have found an uncountable number of personal blogs and forum entries that discuss it. In the absence of a citable source, if someone wants to delete the part about euro-centrism I will not

This seems like a small obstacle to the Games
