Lighten up people

[Dahoss]

I'm probably going to regret this, but I agree with the premise the original post was a bit much. No one wants to see a horse hurt and it's unfortunate when a horse, any horse dies, especially the way Proud Cardenal did.

I guess I thought it was a bit excessive to call him a hero, while you could turn on the TV Sunday and see family members of real heroes mourning the people they lost. People that ran into burning buildings to save others and lost their lives for it. Or footage of people jumping out of a building 100 stories high because they would rather go out that way than burn to death. That's what I think of when I think of hero.

We all care about horses. It's part of the reason we all love the game. And I don't think MMSC was doing anything wrong in expressing her sentiment. But I also don't see anything wrong with thinking it was a bit much when there were bigger things going on that day.
