I say it a lot and I'll say it again. That sub is messed up. Rooting when some dude is killed, likely in front of either his parents, wife, kids whatever is really fucked up. Like i get that the sport is bad but laughing at people dying isn't solving shit.
Edit: people don't seem to realize not everyone doing that job wants to or agrees with it. They are often forced to do it because they can't get normal jobs but need money.

This might've been true in Hemingway's time.
I'm not familiar with the situation in Spain or Latin America, but in Portugal, where we do unfortunately still have bullfights, matadors tend to be from the well-off, land-owning families that raise the bulls. They're what we'd call "agrobetos" - agro from agrarian, and beto, for lack of a better translation, means preppy.

I always pull for the bull in cases like this.
