The Better Part of Valor

The Better Part of Valor

In Mexico City, a young bullfighter, 22-year-old Mexican matador Cristian Hernandez, saw the bull and did what I would have done, made haste to get out of the bull's way. Senor Hernandez was arrested, because he made haste in getting out of the bull's way. When the senor took flight, he was doing; something I never would do, he was in a bull ring, had entered the bull ring, dressed as a bullfighter, was under contract to fight a bull!

There was a crowd, obviously there were cameras, there was a bull, but there was no bull fighter. There was Senor Hernandez leaping head first out of the ring at the beginning of a fight. What fight? The senor dropped his red cape at the sight of the bull and gave flight. I am not into bull body language, but  ckeck the video. Doesn't the bull look disappointed? Maybe the bull sensed the young man's fright and was hoping for a piece of him? May be? The young man's bosses look more than disappointed. They had the young man arrested!

The young Senor Hernandez said in a television interview that once in the ring, facing the bull, he realized that he didn't have the ability or the balls to face the bull. The young senor, arrested on the charge of breach of contract, was later released after paying a fine, and shortly after that, he announced his retirement from bullfighting.
