Category:Multinational sports teams
[edit]I have added this category to Category:Multinational sports teams. There are two problems:
- describing the team as "multi-national" could be interpreted as endorsing the Two Nations Theory (Ireland), which would be POV. I have added a note to Category:Multinational sports teams explaining that it uses "nation" in the sense "sovereign state" rather than, well, "nation".
- the subcats Category:National sports teams of the Republic of Ireland and Category:National sports teams of Northern Ireland obviously do not belong in the supercat. Since Categories are not transitive, that's not a big deal, especially given the note already on the Category page. There is an argument that Category:National sports teams of Ireland should be a {{containercat}} with Category:All-island Ireland national sports teams as the third sibling alongside Republic and Northern. That's an argument for another day.
