Now, this is just not something you see every day (unless you read Shadow of a Bull in school and have flashbacks…or is that just me?).
This is Michelito Lagravere Peniche, Matador, and he is nine.
They are not allowed to fight professionally in Spain, but baby-faced bullfighters are the rage throughout Mexico. Even though some of the school-age children appearing at the country’s scores of bullrings are not much taller than the bulls they confront, these mini-matadors have begun getting top billing from promoters, who view them as a new way to bring people to the arena…
What ever happened to baseball? Don’t they have hockey in Mexico? What about volleyball? Charades? Should we send in a NATO nonviolent sports task force? Uh, on second thought, forget hockey.

I am speechless. I guess soccer is just too boring, eh? Oh wait how about football. You can get tossed around just the same. Craziness I say!
