This is a great old tradition and I would hope they continue it forever. The one thing I wish they’d stop doing is reporting that someone got hurt like it was some horrible surprise. OF COURSE someone is gonna get hurt if you have a charging bull amidst so many people.
It is not newsworthy if someone gets gored (alas).
They did not have to attend the event.
Let’s start a journalism school that teaches genuine journalism instead of sensationalism and propaganda.
If some rich person could start a real journalism school, it could help America immensely

Why? Do you like to see people mauled by bulls? Even if they are stupid people?

The Romans used to throw people to the lions too but I don't think that was a great tradition that needed to be continued forever.

"This is a great old tradition and I would hope they continue it forever."

I lived in Spain for 3 years and always thought what a mindless event. It's a dumb-ass macho thing. I always laughed when they got trounced or gored. Stupid is as stupid does. Go get some tapas and vino, instead. Oh, and the Spanish really don't need a festival for every Saint every other week. They would clog the streets and all commerce would shut down. But then they're doing so well economically.
