The boycott

The reaction of the general public, horseplayers, press, PETA protesters et al should Asmussen have a good day

1 - Don't care. Mute button will be in effect.

2 - I honestly don't know what the boycott is.

3 - I'll take them in order. The general public doesn't know who Steve Asmussen is. Horseplayers will not care if he has a big day, as long as they cash. The press will throw gas on the fire. PETA will use it to draw more attention to themselves. PETA wants Asmussen to have a good day more than Asmussen does himself.
