Video posted of Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal at cockfight

The Associated Press

A video of New York Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal at a cockfight was posted this week on YouTube.
Martinez and Marichal laugh before releasing the roosters. The two took part as honorary “soltadores,” the word used to describe the person who puts the animal to fight.

The animal released by Martinez appears to be killed on the video, which was posted Tuesday. The fight takes place in the Coliseo de Gallos (Rooster Coliseum) in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic’s biggest cockfighting venue. Cockfighting is legal and popular in the Dominican Republic.

Well, this is interesting. How will the general American public react? Will they lump Pedro and Marichal into the Michael Vick camp? Or, do these two get a pass because if I'm not mistaken, **** fighting is actually legal and accepted in some South American countries.

I'm not sure where I stand or what I think.

Curt Schilling will have a 90,210-word blog on this by dawn.

Juan Marichal? Was there a bat involved?

Good pull, Pete. Big Pedro made a big mistake, Pedro.

 

[mike311gd]

I don't think the public will give a **** about this because, as mentioned before, cockfighting is legal in South America, and roosters aren't quite as endearing as dogs.

Unless Pedro is running a cockfighting ring, I don't think there's much of a comparison.

 

[Write-brained]

I heard it was a really big **** ring.

Tamale!

I like that. It's like a dirty thought in a nice, clean mind.
