Equestrian: gold for sittin' on yer' ass
Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2008 4:56 pm
Don't worry. I will not begin a long rant about the horrors of some truly
twisted and evil "sports" which humans have invented to force upon
innocent animals: cockfighting, bullfighting, dogfighting.
That requires a whole 'nother forum.
However, I WILL discuss here a far less violent "sport"
- a non-sport all the same - involving non-humans being forced
to go through silly humiliating routines.
As I flipped through the channels on my tele today,
I caught Olympic equestrian. I couldn't help think to myself:
how ASSININE. I mean, THE HORSE IS DOING ALL THE WORK!
The rider is just SITTIN' on HER OR HIS ASS!
To quote a joke heard on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update
as told by cast member Seth Meyers: as far as the horse thinks of it,
Olympic medals are "not food".
