but, if you go after racing, what next? nascar, indy have had deaths. football..hell, a soccer goal fell on an eight year old the other day, should we ban soccer? my husband said you wouldn't hear any of this, had a horse stumbled and pitched a jock, with the horse ok and the jock passing. he may be right.
I think those are extremely poor analogies because nascar drivers have a choice. Nobody is forcing them to race cars for a living. Jockeys have a choice. They know the risks. Horses do not have a choice. They are forced to race.
