¿Un matador? ¡Dios mÃo no!

Pero un gaucho, quien a todas de las chicas se gusta . . .

Couldn't watch the video for some reason, but I read the synopsis.

There was a story off the AP that a Mexican bullfighter chickened out, ran from the bull and ducked behind a barricade.

To be fair, he bad been gored in the thigh six month prior and he was trying to make a comeback. I don't blame him for bolting. He got booed for it and now he's retiring. He's retiring from the Matador gig at 22.

I still find Spain's running of the bulls to be higher on the stupidity chart than being a matador, though.

The whole idea of slaughtering a bull (or running from a stampede of them as BBQ mentions) seems so absurd to me.

Thank you. I feel the same way. And what happens to the matador, they deserve. Killing a bull for show is just stupid, and I am glad to see one get gored.

i hate pretty much every single tradition from my country and this is one of them

its a retarded "sport" that the vilest scum on this earth enjoy participating in / watching

i honestly feel like, if the bull won, the guy should be left to die in the ring while everyone applauded the victor, which is what would happen would it have been the other way around

but alas, humans.

Also don't forget all the help the showman has in killing the thing.

If it were one dude with one sword, and he receives no aid once the bull is in the ring, at least then it would be a fair fight. Also, would mean many more matadors would die, which would kill off the sport quickly. Win-win.

So ya people were outraged about young children being hurt by the bull.........WTF were young children doing there!? Ok ok I know there are cultural differences but I still do not believe that it is any place for a child to be......period.

I'm not sure if that's the one where they kill the bull.

But still, good job for the bull getting revenge on the people who have watched and enjoyed the others being killed in front of their eyes. Good job! I still feel sorry for the kids that where there though.
