Filipinos, like Panamanians, love cock-fighting and the gambling that goes with it. After seeing several brutal live bouts in while in Panama, I vowed to never watch again. However, while waiting out the typhoon in my hotel room and flipping channels on the TV, I came across not only live broadcast matches, but a cockfighting sportscenter of sorts, with fight highlights, statistics, and the career earnings for each bird. I didnt watch for long, but later realized they probably dont have a loss column on the stat sheet. You lose, you're dead. The sport seems vicious, but after the "Don't read this." post, how can I criticize?
“There is no fun in a thorough understanding of any subject. A domain that naturally contains more mystery than is solvable on any given day, like fishing, is very enjoyable. Such mystery overflows itself.” --Scott Bowen
