Part of me is inclined to say might as well keep going with the games, but then I think sunk cost fallacy.

Does anyone even care about the commonwealth games?

    While I enjoy the Commonwealth/Olympics Games, I think that pulling out is the best thing for us (heh) because just how much money government bodies sink into these games with us getting nothing out of it. Sure there might be more tourism, but so many buildings built for these games just become decrepit and unused. So while it does foster comraderee and tourism, in the end it’d be such a waste. And with our cost of living crisis and other crisis’ post-Covid, it just feels like… a waste.

      Every country is fighting for the Olympics or Fifa ecause it’s rife with corruption. It’s not our fault the commonwealth games is not corrupt enough to happen here.
