Spanish TV Drops Live Bullfights

Spain’s public television network has dropped live bullfighting from its schedule. “Bullfight promoters say dropping live broadcasts is unfair to older people who cannot afford to go to bullfights. The sport, described so eloquently by Ernest Hemingway in Death in the Afternoon, still draws 65 million people annually, promoters said. But bullfighting has few young followers in Spain and most audiences are middle-aged or older.”
