I find it very disgusting how Bermudians acted during the opening ceremony! I understand on the day, the soccer (football) team was asked if they would like to carry the Big Bermuda Flag and replied no I don’t want to carry that – it has something to do with the Queen! Wow this is how the teams represent Bermuda? Disgusting
Congrats to the organizers, the athletes, the volunteers, sponsors and Govt support to make the games a reality. Well done spectators,police, bus drivers, cooks, waiters, ferry drivers and everyone who helped make the games a success.
Well done Bermuda and the organizers of the games!!had a chance to see a few of the the competions and my hats off to our Bermuda athletes and all involved??Great to see so many having fun at what they do??also like to see government now give more to other sports bodies, since we seem to do better at other sports, and not always football and cricket!!!
I would like to acknowledge Bernews spectacular coverage of the games! I don’t know how you guys do it with minimum staffing, but you all deserve the GOLD medal! Thank you!
