We've had bull-running in this country for over two hundred years.....only it runs in the halls of congress and in the Oval Office....and it's also called "oratory" and "campaign promises".

“Has PETA weighed in on this yet?”

I think PETA will support this. After all, weren’t there 24 people gored in Pamplona this year?

That’s the kind of “animal” abuse PETA can get behind.

If that’s true....then Aggies can kiss Sumlin goodbye after this season as well..sort of explains why Mack Brown was taking shots at Manzel this weekend..he must have had a heads-up..

Ahh, but it will be Americanized by using monster trucks instead of bulls!

The promoters of this event are even stupider than the participants At the first death they are going to be sued out of existance.

How is the liability exposure any higher than auto racing where participants and spectators are killed or seriously injured every year?

We already have enough bull coming out of DC.

[NotYourAverageDhimmi]

I want our politicians to all have to serve as matadors until they either win or get ‘Gored.’

Good idea. Bulls love to go after a---oles.

Never work, Politicians have experience, they run with their run bull everyday...

The Yankees are STILL running from the last Bull Run in Virginia.

The difference is that auot race car drivers are not RUNNING IN FRONT OF AN ANGRY BULL for no other purpose than to run in front of an angry bull.

[Sequoyah101]

This is a great idea. I fully support it and wish to contribute to the funding of such events.

Just because you sign a release doesn’t mean you can’t sue.

One paraplegic case and that’s the end of this “fun”.
