Pedro Martinez Cockfight

by Lupe Lasano in sports

Cockfighting ranks right up there with dogfighting as far as I'm concerned. It's a sport of Neanderthals and Barbarians only. Who in their right mind wants to watch roosters fight to the death? Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez does.

Here is a screen capture of the video that showed Martinez cock fighting. Unfortunately, YouTube has already pulled the video.

A quick recap gives you an idea of what was on the video.

Martinez and Marichal laugh before releasing the roosters. The two took part as honorary "soltadores," the word used to describe the person who puts the animal to fight.
The animal released by Martinez appears to be killed on the video, which was posted Tuesday. The fight takes place in the Coliseo de Gallos (Rooster Coliseum) in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic's biggest cockfighting venue. Cockfighting is legal and popular in the Dominican Republic.

No word on whether the MLB will take any action against the players.
