Seriously, this just adds fuel to my fire of hatred for the New York Metropolitans. Pedro Martinez and Carlos Delgado were invited to attend an event in the Dominican Republican; ...a Cockfight. They did attend this event at the invitation of Juan Marichal; a Major League Baseball Hall of Famer.
There was a video that showed up on YouTube.com, that has since been taken down showed Martinez, Delgado, and Marichal at the event but Pedro claims they were only spectators...
"I understand that people are upset, but that is part of our Dominican culture and is legal in the Dominican Republic," Martinez said in a statement obtained by 1050 ESPN Radio in New York. "I was invited by my idol, Juan Marichal, to attend the event as a spectator, not as a participant." (ESPN.com).
I don't give a shit if you're in the Dominican Republic or not, you shouldn't be attending a cockfight if you're a Major League Baseball player. Fucking Christ, this is just like Dogfighting. Just because it's not frowned upon, it doesn't mean it's right. Dogfighting is very prominent down south, but illegal none the less. Animals are animals.
