More Cockfighting

[love_that_reefer]

Aramis Ramirez admitted to raising roosters for fighting in an interview with a Dominican cockfighting magazine.
We read that magazine, but only for the articles. It's not much of an admission, considering cockfighting is a legal and accepted part of Dominican culture. Ramirez, like Pedro Martinez, will probably face backlash from animal rights groups, but the fact is that most Dominican players probably have at least a tenuous connection to the pastime.

Why do people care if they go to or participate in a cockfight? They are well within their legal rights. It's like people making a big deal of Michael Jordan gambling and Tony Romo taking a trip. Now if Michael Jordan was gambling on a cockfight which he was attending with Romo, I might understand.

I ahree it's inhumane, but it's legal where they are doing it. Until it's in the CBA that the players are to not participate at all in it, then I don't believe anyone has the right to say anything about it...as long as it's not done in the United States.

Cockfighting is perfectly natural for males 18 and over.
