Literally out of all the sports there are, bullfighting is the one where you should never distract yourself by showing off during play. Or else, well, you could meet the fate of this Mexican bullfighter.
I LOL’d
Was that wrong?
play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
As we used to say:
“F**k with the bull and you get the horns”.
just a ping
No.
I LOL’d too. That other bull just leveled him ... that’s why it’s a real sport.
“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.”
-Ernest Hemingway
Do the bulls get to eat the matador when they win?
I think so.
Must be why he was tenderized
LOL! Awesome!
Goreador
Sometimes the bull wins......................
And it doesn’t end well for the matador.
LOL!!
This reminds me....I have a joke.
This couple went to a vacation down in Mexico and went to a popular restaurant. They saw another couple who were the center of attention. The waiter came out and brought their entree under a lid. He then lifted the lid with a big flourish and everybody cheered. On the platter were a couple of large fleshy balls.
The vacationing couple asked the waiter what that was and the waiter explained its special meal that only one couple gets to eat. Its a special entree of Rocky Mountain Oysters that they get after the famous bullfight in that Mexican town. The husband is impressed and says he’d like to order that. The waiter tells him there is a 2 year long waiting list to be served that meal.
So they sign up and wait their two years and then come back to that restaurant. Now they’re the center of attention and the waiter comes out with the platter and a silver lid covering the entree. When he lifted the entree, the fleshy balls were much smaller than the couple had remembered. Somewhat disappointed the husband asked the waiter about this. The waiter told him “sorry Senor....the Bull does not always lose.”
I think the Matador was Eduardo Curoccio.
Watching that video, I get the idea that the second bull wasn’t in the “ring” initially and was released intentionally to harm the bullfighter.
