Told you I was hardcore: bull kills hot Spanish matador in the ring on live TV.

Its our national sport but I loathe bull fighting. I attended one bull fight as a gayling and cried like a big Maria! so my. embarrassed father removed me and sat me in a chair outside. I could have been kidnapped and raped!

I did love the costumes and the music though.

He was HAF, only 29 years old. First matador to die this century.

Repulsive “sport”.

Well, if the bull hadn't killed him, it most likely would have ended up dead.

Sorry, not sorry.

Bullfighting is barbaric. You pays your money and you takes your chances. Sometimes it doesn't work out.

Can I have his stuff?

I do love Matador outfits though. Let's find a better use for them.

How about the Matadors come out in their outfits and then strip for us.

Mess with the bull and get the horns.

Don't fuck around with animals.

So hot. But he chose a miserable profession.

In the video play backs one can see the bull got a horn into his chest and continued to bounce him around with the horn inside him. He died on scene.

According to wikipedia, the bull, named Lorenzo, died from the injuries that had been inflicted upon him before he killed his tormenter.

Poor Lorenzo the bull. No animal should be tortured.

Karma sucks for the matador.

Typically when a bull has put up a good fight everybody stands and applauds for the bull as its carcass is dragged out of the ring. I wonder if it was done this time?

Yikes!

Lorenzo was not killed in the ring. He was removed and killed later.

Listen, OP: if we didn't have bullfighting, we wouldn't have matadors.

And if we didn't have matadors, we wouldn't have photos like this one.

Twenty seconds in you can see the exact moment he questioned his life choices.

by Anonymousreply 16May 22, 2021 5:58 AM

More than the Matadors I loathe these bastards who seek to sever tendons so the bull cannot raise its head. Only after this is done the bull is introduced to the Matador.

He took risks, he knew he took them; things have come out against him, and therefore he had no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of Providence

Ha ha!

Initially a bull fight is exhilerating. Many dress in folkloric drag, everybody is happy, the live orchestra begins playing fabulous music - the Pasodoble, the ladies start throwing flowers. Its all very exciting. Then the bull comes into the ring and the horror begins. Dear God, no. I don't know how Ava Gardner could stand it.

Don't Fuck with Ferdinand.

R17's photo is fucked up in so many ways - the bull has a huge S on its side; the horse is blindfolded; the rider has protective equipment all over him; most of the audience seems non-plussed or behind a camera; the obvious height advantage the protected rider has.

This is just awful shit that needs to go away. Imagine if they did this to other animals? They'd shut it down in 2 seconds. But somehow, because of tradition, it still goes on.

by Anonymousreply 22May 22, 2021 7:08 AM

Many studies have shown that if bull fighting were put to referendum it would be outlawed. Spaniards are not attending bull fights as they once did and younger people find it disgusting. I would not be surprised to see it end soon.

R23 - they've been saying that for decades.

No "they" haven't. Not "they" in Spain anyway. But things are different now.

Fuck the "Its tradition" assholes. The Inquisition's Autos de Fe were tradition too. Should they still burn heretics in Madrid's Plaza Mayor too?

The outrageous thing is that the killing of this asshole has caused controversy in Spain where freedom of speech has taken a major hit. Several were celebrating his death on SM and calling him a murderer. His family sued them and even wanted jail time for some of them. Recently Spain's major court decided that one of the women sued should pay 7k € because her comments went against this asshole's "honor".

Fuck that. The US has many problems but at least freedom of speech is still protected.

The widow is a conservative politician. A deplorable.

This happened 5 years ago. Just sayin". Don't quite understand why this became a topic for DL today.

Wonder what he looks like now.

by Anonymousreply 29May 22, 2021 8:27 AM

He looked gay. As the article above states so many Matadors are closeted and married to their beards.
