I don't get that sport either and opposition to it is growing, according to a recent Time magazine article.
Re: Vick. Ugh, this guy was my son's hero.. the reason he wants to be an NFL player and, specifically, a Falcons fan. I'll have to share this info with him if he hasn't heard it already. Hopefully his second dream (meterologist on the weather channel) doesn't get blasted by some idiotic behavior on Jim Cantore's part.

Just so you don't think the bullfights are any bit a match of equals, the bulls are drugged, sometimes weighted down, and have their horns shaved so they lose balance and mutilated to lose as much blood as possible early on so that the matador can kill it much more quickly when it moves it around in circles and gets it dizzy.
