[Da Coach]

Not a good PR image for the Cubbies.


Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez expressed his passion for cockfighting in a recent issue of a Dominican cockfighting magazine. He raises roosters and competes in cockfighting--http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseb...021408.article


Cockfighting is legal and popular in the Dominican Republic, where Ramirez is from, and spends his winters.--

They manage to get away with Cockfighting at the University of South Carolina. In fact, here is a picture of two Gamecocks before their battle royale

Now this is a sport I can support! Can we still change the name though?
