I need to be human to understand why people care more about a horse than an actual person. I wish we could be as big hearted as you :shakeno:

You quoted Section and I never saw him say that.....

Should we care more than if a human dies? No

Is it okay to care and feel for the person who's horse it is? of course

We cant controll the media coverage but we can feel bad.....

What? I laid out how I felt. Saying i didnt understand how the horse got more coverage and more out pouring of prayers/cards then the driver. He said to understand our position you have to be human. Meaning if you disagree w/ him you arent human. I found it odd that caring more for a horse then the human as a sign that I was some how less human. I also laid out that I thought it was sad, and hoped the horse got better like most people did.

I definitely think it was a sad thing to see happen. And hope he recovers, I just thought the press and peoples reaction went a little overboard.

I made NO money on him. I actually LOST money on him.

I am a fan of the sport. It saddens me that he got hurt.

If you were a real horse racing fan..you would understand.

IMO, you just need to be human to understand our point of view

Actually the race car driver got alot of media coverage, ESPNEWS had it on for a week, interviews with Danica Patrick and the team. It was a tough crash to watch, but also tough to see that poor horse limp the way it did.
Either way they were both terrible things to happen.The horse is only 3 years old. And yes, the driver was a young man. a very dangerous sport, I might add.

I made a general statement. It had to do with having sympathy for this animal.
