Are we certain that nobody at the NY Times is in PETA? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I find it hard to believe nobody there is at the very least sympathetic (although it could always be some low level person/people in another department). All it takes is someone in the right position to try to wage a PR campaign against the sport. It would make sense for them to pursue their agenda against meat/fur/leather, etc. by either planting people in media or wooing or intimidating people who are already there.
They're just passionate enough and crazy enough that I can't discount it in my mind. Your theory is probably right, Steve. Is it reflected in the other sections of the Times? I've gotten so frustrated with them for other reasons that I don't keep up enough to know.
