Utter nonsense, Blood Sport has always meant any sport that involves killing such as cock-fighting, fox hunting or in recent times martial arts like cage fighting. It's meaning vis a vis the Clintons was clear and not in any way a version of Blood Libel.
See, you guys have to create false connections to explain the stupidity of the term's usage. That's spin...and if you are spinning it's because you're wrong to begin with.

Amazing how the MSM contrasts liberal vs. conservative commentary on the issue. On CNN’s webpage now:
“Obama speech meant to comfort nation”
as opposed to:
“Palin lashes out on shootings.”
They don’t even try to be subtle.
You are oh so wise and wonderful!/s
The word “blood” used as an adjective for sport or libel is still the same adjective. And who’s to say the use of the term “blood sport” wasn’t a transmogrification of “blood libel” in it’s earliest use. I’m not a linguist. Pray-tell, are you?
