	Nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However the most important factor is that the emotions are shared: nationalism in sport includes the shared disappointment if the national team loses.
		The nation state is intended to guarantee the existence of a nation, to preserve its distinct identity, and to provide a territory where the national culture and ethos are dominant.
		Nations have national symbols, a national character, a national culture, a national music and national literature; national folklore, a national mythology and - in some cases - even a national religion.

	H-France Reviews
		In sum, Dine's study of French Rugby Football is a well-written general introduction to the sport's history, a synthesis particularly successful in addressing rugby as a "practice." However, the author's reliance on secondary sources necessarily limits the scope and depth of his examination of the discourses inspired by rugby.
		Long a vector of regional identity, particularly in the southwest, French rugby thus was exploited in moments of perceived crisis by national governments seeking to impose their particular vision of French values and greatness.
		This is an interesting link between the emerging local rugby culture and national trends; however, Dine does not evoke the broader context of the emerging mass consumer culture of the time, when such female figures were widely employed in contemporary advertisements (on bicycle posters, for example).

	Rugby at the 1924 olympics
		Rugby had been all the rage in California high schools and colleges at the turn of the century, but the sport had died out by the outbreak of World War I. It's no surprise then that the US Olympic committee refused to even fund the trips.
