Why sad? I think the athletes' efforts are inspiring!

Not just good natured but good marketing
The best way to get the word out is not interviews. It is social media. I bet 10 times as many people saw the twitter/Instagram/facebook/youtube of the banter between the sides then they did the interviews.

"Sports" networks stopped being about sports a long time ago. It's about ratings and they're desperately trying to remain relevant by focusing on human interest pieces instead of sports. Although Invictus has been covered pretty well for something that doesn't relate to the NFL or college football; the two biggest draws for American sports fans.

I have my own struggles going on right now- seizures and severe mental illness. So my dad said look at this thread- get some inspiration. He's pretty smart.

The Invictus Games are likely to be staged in Australia in 2018, Sir Keith Mills, the chairman of the event's foundation, says.

Prince Harry would like to bring the Invictus Games back to Britain in 2019.

And that's what this venture is all about :) Glad to hear you've been inspired by this great organization and the brave people involved in the games.

I know many people will see it differently, but in my opinion Prince Harry should be given the Garter! His tireless work for the servicemen and -women he started some years ago by now, his tremendous work for the crown both at home and abroad justifies that. He gives the monarchy a human, warm hearted face and he really is the sweetheart of the royal family!

It is not you to judge that! If the Prince says, quite correctly, "it is about the veterans, not me!", it is all right and well fitting. If it is you to say that, it is an insult!
