A video of Pedro Martinez and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal at a cockfight was posted this week on YouTube.

The two took part as honorary "soltadores," the word used to describe the person who puts the animal to fight. Cockfighting is legal in the Dominican Republic, where the incident took place, so Pedro doesn't have to worry about joining Michael Vick in prison. Still, the Mets can't be happy about the publicity this is going to bring.

I don't think the fact that it is legal there is as important as the fact that it was cockfighting instead of dogfighting. If this was dogs it would be a huge deal.

If anyone makes a big stink out of this, they better be vegetarian.

 

Oh no, Pedro was at a [expletive] fight! Those poor poor birds that are born and raised so we can eat them! I'm calling PETA, they need to do a Dominican mission trip

I've been maintaining this from the beginning about Michael Vick. If he ran a [expletive]-fighting ring, nobody would have cared.

When chickens have out lived their usefulness and let out into the wild they're still just chickens. When dogs do, they kill people.

Yes, but I don't think Vick let any of his dogs out into the wild. He killed the ones that were not of any use to him.

 

When you kill a chicken, you get a delicious dinner!

Who is to say dogs don't taste delicious? Haven't you ever eaten at a Chinese buffet?

I was in the D.R. a few years ago and the [expletive] fighting is actually pretty sweet.

 

They have their own mini-stadiums for the fights and everyone gathers on Sunday's after church and pounds rum and watches some [expletive] fighting. My kinda place.

Here in Puerto Rico we have stadiums and stuff too. There's a Monday night TV show, or there used to be, where they played the cockfight of the week, with play by play and everything. There;s even a government official who holds the title Commissioner of Cockfight Affairs.

 

Seriously.

Yes, we want to see video of some [expletive] going at it.

 

Pedro's anti-[expletive] attitude is distressing.

 

Nobody likes seeing a bloodied [expletive].

 

[expletive].
