It's also part of the Mauritanian culture to publicly stone homosexuals to death. I'm sure we can all respect that and wait until it dies out with new generations.
If watching men fight bulls and having crowds cheer for him to win (which results in death of the bull) is accepted, then there should be no problem with me watching it the other way around, hoping that the bull wins. At least if he gets his heart death will be very quick, which is unlikely to be the same for the bull.
Yes, there's plenty examples of idiotic traditions around the world, but it's the job of those nations to deal with them not ours. I just don't agree that the guy "deserves" it,it is his job after all.

I think boxing and fighting in general as a popular sport is silly.
I do fully support that 2 consenting people might want to fight for fun, for practice or for a challenge, but having it be broadcast or having tons of spectators is not necessary. Things like tournaments for martial arts or other combat styles is borderline for me, the idea is nice, but I don't like how some of the larger ones are broadcast. These things should be reserved for those involved, and maybe their friends and family.

Many, many years ago there was a debate where I live about this, they concluded it should be called art, don't remember the exact reasons. My info is probably outdated~

Would've been better if the bull pierced his heart. It's a shame he missed.

People only watch matador shows for the slight chance that someone will be gored.
