American Man Wounded by Bulls in Spain.... and Everyone Cares

In Pamplona during the annual San Fermin Festival, they release huge bulls to run through the streets. Just because something is tradition doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid. Why people would do this, I don't know. What intrigues me more is why this hit the worldwide news. According to the Navarra regional government, a 31-year-old American was hospitalized with a severe head injury. He regained consciousness later and will go through tests to see how badly he was damaged. I can almost guarantee that hundreds of Spaniards are wounded or even killed in this silly festival each year. But this time an AMERICAN got hurt, and that makes it world news worthy. It's listed in news right above the Afghanistan refugee crisis. I think America needs to gain some serious perspective.
