Obviously I agree with you, but there was 2 key points here. First it gives the terrorists the idea they win by changing the way we live, cancelling that tour makes the terrorists happy.
It would be a big financial hit to the 4 english clubs involved since it is a big match and not only would they be refunding tickets sold for the match they would also have reduced attendences for games around it since fans might choose to only go for 1 game out of 2 or 3 and pick the inter game.
