Bullfights not my tequila cup
Ray Orrock critiques a televised Spain bullfight shown at Oakland Coliseum. Attendance plummeted to about 4,600 from an expected 15,000 as he savages the show’s pomp, spectacle, and bloodletting. He likens it to a train wreck and prefers less graphic violence, citing politics as a milder alternative.
