No violins in sports at all that I could ever see.

"If you're being paid a fortune when it happens it's not a crime."
The rationale for the military defense industry. Or the hiring of a mafia hit man.

There is something wrong with the ethos of today's sports. Steroids are part of the problem. The irrational competitiveness that takes place negates any really sportsmanship. The "win-at-all-costs" attitude of sports is amplified by the behavior of many dictatorial nations.

Another program on mans quest(or need) for violence discussed "Bull Fighting".
One question that was asked of the Bull was "Would you sooner just go to the slaughter house and end up on a dinner plate, or would you like the opportunity to kill your opponent?

3.... ahhh... that is where I draw the line. The bull does not stand a chance unless the matador is a stunned arse. It is sickening.

Of course, it beat's Sobeys lobster tank all to hell.

"i see that there are some protestors taking a stand against bull fighting."

And some who were doing their best to fight bull.

First, let me be clear, the only part of Bullfighting that I enjoy is when the Bull gets a little "payback".
I don't consider it even close to hunting wild game(trophy hunters excluded).
