Yesterday we posted a video that featured a cockfight involving Pedro Martinez and Juan Marichal in the Dominican Republic. The video has since been taken down. Here’s the animated gif we created to link the video:

The ASSOCIATED PRESS then reported on the video a few hours after we linked it (which we first spotted on HOME RUN DERBY). Keep in mind the video was not uploaded to Youtube on the day we linked it. It had already been on the site for some time. We’re guessing the AP found the old video through SbB or Home Run Derby, which is fine. We really don’t expect credit on something like that.

But then earlier today Cathy Burke and Tom Liddy of the NEW YORK POST reported on the video as well, including this animated gif (bottom right):

Look familiar? Hi Cathy and Tom!

Very sad video sent over by HOME RUN DERBY today that features Pedro Martinez and Juan Marichal involved in what appears to be a professionally sanctioned cockfight somewhere in the Dominican Republic:

The video is not for the faint of heart. Unless you’re from Louisiana or BFF’s with Roy Jones, Jr.
