That's a fair point
but at the moment it's seen as something positive to come out of it.
To be honest i'm surprised it hasn't died before now. These games have been incredibly popular in the UK partly due to the fact that we're still clinging on to our Olympics and also that Scotland is a very passionate place at the moment.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how popular the next ones are
