“Just for certain reasons,” she pondered, “it’s something I have to think about.”
Certain reasons like the question of her nationality. The 26-year-old midfielder, a Scot, faced an awkward decision after agreeing to represent what is known as “Team GB” for the first time. Representing her country previously has only meant singing “Flower of Scotland” before kickoff.
The dilemma helps explain the challenges Britons face over their national identities particularly for a proud Scot like Weir and in forming unified sports teams.
If it wasn’t for the Olympics, Weir would never be playing soccer for Britain. Instead, as she did at the 2019 Women’s World Cup, she’d represent the saltire of Scotland a nation with its own legal system and church.

The general doctrine of ‘illegality’, in commercial litigation, is based on two related principles:
Firstly, that no person should benefit from his or her own illegal act or wrong; and
Secondly, that the law (and the Court) should not condone, reward, or enforce, illegal behaviour.
In jurisdictions such as Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands, the alleged ‘illegality’ of one party or another is often relied upon, in practice, as a defence to a claim, whether the claim is asserted in contract, tort, equity, or restitution.
It is quite often asserted, for example, that a claim should be dismissed because the claimants (or, in the case of a company in insolvent liquidation, the company’s former directors and officers) have allegedly been guilty of some fraud, dishonesty, breach of statute (such as an immigration or tax law), or regulatory non-compliance (such as a breach of Anti-Money Laundering, Beneficial Ownership, or Sanctions regulations).
