Can you call this a sport or not? Some say it is and some say it isn't. I sure think it is on the edge. The matadors, men who fight to bull, must be in good shape and they must have certain skills to defeat the bull. So, they are sure preparing themselves like every professional sport player. But they are killing an animal. Is that a sport? You have to decide for yourself. In the mean time here is something about bullfighting. Bullfighting comes originally from Spain where is called corrida de toros or tauromaquia. Portugal also has his own version and there is called corrida de touros or tauromaquia. Similar, but different. There is also some variations in rules and traditions. The matador provokes the bull with the red cape and tires him off. They are playing with the bull and that is how they are entertaining the crowd. Then picadors enter the arena on heavily padded and blindfolded horses and stab the bull in the neck with the sword. I'll say it is brutal.








There is another way of bullfighting. That is when the two bulls are fighting each other.
