Because that date doesn't actually have a whole lot of significance outside of the USA?

- iso1631 4y agoIt's been over 20 years. The London bombings on July 7th 2005 (or 7/7 as they were known) were a big thing in the UK obviously. Not to Sky Sports though, who posted on July 7th "In honour of 7/7, who's the first player you think of" To really grasp dates like 9/11 or 7/7 you'd have to have been at least say 10 years old at the time. The 20 year old intern posting the sky sports tweet would have been 3 at the time and wouldn't associate the date. People under the age of 30 wouldn't remember 9/11 like the rest of the world did, and it did have a massive affect on the whole world - not least because of the response to it (unlike say March 11th 2004 in Madrid)
