ESPN is being very irresponsible

They didnt show lost in the fog rolling around on the ground in pain because of the chemo, they should give Barbaro the same respect. Nobody wants to see a horse break its leg one time, nonetheless 100 times. Sickening.

Thanks. I thought I was going crazy. Finally somebody who sees my point and isnt afraid to disagree with the masses. Refreshing.

Tim,
I totally agree. ALL the networks have shown the breakdown far too much.
I really don't get a thrill out of seeing it again and again.
Sick, if you ask me.
Showing such a noble steed in distress over and over might gain ratings, but also anti racing people.
Sick people pour gasoline on the fire. I wish they would just show his best efforts and allow the rest of us to grieve his loss.
Thanks for calling your friend.
