It's actually the Scottish FA not wanting to lose their independent national team which is why they don't want to be part of the GB team. The FA could argue that if they play as a combined team then their special independent status would be nul and void even though the Olympic rules see the Great Britain as the country (which does beg the question where does NI come into Olympic rules as it's Great Britain and not United Kingdom but that is a whole other thread??). It would therefore have little effect if the Scottish, Welsh and English leagues were merged as it's purely a national team argument.
