Glad I'm not a horse - break your leg and you get euthanized.

Ok then.  They sure aren't taking a bullet because they broke their leg, though.

I don't understand what the big deal is.  I mean, yeah, he won some races and some money, but come on, when I log into ESPN.com, I don't want see more than one article dedicated to Barbaro.

Think about how many other animals die every day and how little coverage/care people have for them.

He's just a famous horsie, wait a sec, WAS a famous horsie because people thought he could win the Triple Crown.  I'm with you, man, I don't want to see that headlining ESPN, either.

Its an animal and they tried as hard as they could to fix it. If they just left it their dying THEN it would be a big deal.

I agree a few articles would be fine since he did win the derby and all but gees almost like 24/7 SC coverage is too much.

frankly... IDGAF about horse racing but to each his own i guess

Sorry for Barbaro and his owner and racer and all those who knew him, but to be honest I don't see how a horse dying *yeah I know he won a race* is "CNN Breaking News." I doubt you'd see a breaking news headline if Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel (can't believe I wrote it like that) got hit by a bus tomorrow.

edit: Niki Taylor being made fun of on TV isn't worth front-page news either tbh.

I feel bad for the horse, as he WAS a great race horse. . .and the owners as well, thats a tough pill to swallow! You put all that time and money into training the horse, watch him do well, then get hit with a freak accident! sucks. . .

Anyway, in the end its just a horse. . . .too bad they couldn't extract sperm from the animal, that would be probably be around a 150,000 grand per cum shot!!

Yup this news is way overplayed already on the media.

They should have put all the money they used to preform surgery and care for the horse, into helping out our U.S. troops who are now amputees and burn victims from IED's or have permanent disabilities from gunfire.

It's a horse, which is an animal, in some countries is would be food at this point.

Sometime this world is really fucked up in the balance factor spend millions on a freakin' animal while we let people who really need the help such as our war vets past, and present go without the services they need and deserve.

That kinda shit really cranks my nutsack.

and don't even get me started on overpaid sports stars.

Gees I'm cranky I need to go field strip and clean some of my guns and have a shot or three of vodka.

Well at least some have put money towards care for our US troops who've been injured.

I have a good filter.  All I hear is " there is no reason to watch the superbowl."
