i think the important thing about bull fighting is that it's a man with a sword and a cape against a great big snorting bull. Therein lies the sport, both have a chance, but only one will win. I wouldn't root for either but it's amazing to watch. Great showmanship combined with the thrill of seeing something, be it man or beast, fight to the death in an arena...Maybe I have watched Gladiator too many times...
