International sport is about country vs country.   Presently, too many foreign born and rasied individuals are being allowed to represent the home nations in a sport without having any links to those home nations whatsoever.  The general lack of rigid rules on qualifcation criteria is making a mockery of international sport.  It is unfair on home grown sportsman, unfair on the opposition and is also cheating.\r\n\r\nI propose that to represent a home nation of the UK in a sport an individual would need to meet the following 2 criteria:\r\n\r\na) an individual must be born and raised in that home nation\r\nb) one/or both of the individuals parents must be born and raised in that home nation.\r\n\r\nPlease support my e-petition!","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-08-13T15:20:45.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:26:56.958Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:34:27.417Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-13T15:20:45.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"This is a matter for each individual sporting body to decide whom they consider eligible."},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
