Madrid has itīs own card aswell, or have you forgotten March 11? Not only that, March 11 is more present and fresh in peopleīs minds now. At least for a while. After that, the 9/11 card will come back again, unless something bad happens elsewhere.
The thing is the US has a huge history of sponsoring games. Every 10 years or so, they will hold somekind of major sporting event, wether the Olympics, the Winter Games, soccer championships,Athletics meetings, etc etc. The Olympics comission will surelly try to diversify and consider countries that havenīt holded any events in the recent past. If i had a say in it, i would choose an asian country, or a south american one. They are always forgotten in favour of the bigger and more influent nations.
