Kramer’s fighting cock was named “Little Jerry Seinfeld.” Funny episode.
And I don’t recall ever saying that a ban on cockfighting would create an economic catastrophe, but it certainly would piss off a lot of people.
I’ve never attended a cockfight, and I never will, but I would rank cockfighting pretty far down in a list of things that should not be allowed in a civilized society. Chickens are birds (they’re not even mammals, for crying out loud), they are nowhere near an endangered species, and if they aren’t fighting each other they’d be getting their heads cut off so that we can cook them and eat them.

Yep, agreed. Much ado about nothing.
Let me see if I can find the thread, it was a few years ago. I think I commented that I wanted to see Fritz Hollings compete in the sport. ;p

You told me in 2010 that 100,000 people were employed directly or indirectly in the industry. Adding significantly to the unemployment rolls would give me pause.
