ESPN is being very irresponsible

But do we really have to see the broken leg over and over in photos and even worse on TV's?

I mean I was running at the gym today and I look up and they are showing the Barbaro footage and really zeroing in on the actual race showing it happen and showing him after the race.

Isnt it enough that he was a superb race horse and a brilliant fighter who touched many lives? Lets leave it at that. We all know life isnt fair and we all know what happened, so do we really need to look at it again?

Nobody is forcing you to watch it.
