It is simple math, the penalty for not hosting vs the cost of hosting. It seems thing was going to have a negative cost much more than the penalty so they decided to withdraw. People who are angry are thinking with their heart, not their head (or will just whinge about anything)
The people complaining are the same ones that would be angry if the games went ahead and cost $7 billion.
