/// Very few sporting events are just about sport. ///
/// They are also about national pride, culture, score-settling etc. ///
And money, don't forget that.
But regarding the gay kiss, sporting events are not generally about making Political Correctness points, or even about making Political points in general.

/// It was a snog....it was a peck! ///
Snog or Peck?
Which one do you grab a person around the head for?
It was a definite statement no other couples are kissing and notice the camera crew in front of them

Although having said that, her Maj found the need to freshen up her lippy.

There were straigth couples who kissed during the Gretna Green section. The picture you've posted is a feed from one camera taken at one split second.
Also a male/female ballet act kissed.
Therefore, please explain why gay people should not be allowed to kiss on television.
Is it not hypocritical to suggest that Barrowman kiss should not be seen? If so, why is his kiss different from the thousands of kisses we see on the street and on television every year?

can you please explain how displaying your own equality and freedom in your own country is 'scoring pc points'
also, some of the athletes there may disagree with women dressing 'immodestly'
should the female dancers' outfits have been floor length to ensure we 'brought those people together as well'?

Ah but the whole of the speeches were hypocritical, they were spouting on about togetherness etc etc, but we all know that the Scots hate the English, see how much support that the England football team get from the Scots?

Nonsense.
I didn't watch it but I understand the crowd gave Team England a very warm welcome.
I did see the end speeches and the Mayor and Alex Salmond were justifiably exuberant about the achievement of Scotland in mounting the games and negotiated the independence issue very well without any pro-UK 'hypocrisy'
