Sportswriters care about Barbaro because he won the Kentucky Derby this year. Any reports on when past winners of the Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes, or the Preakness had died? Didn't think so. Although I'd still hate to admit that I'd rather see an update on Barbaro than a story about Barry Bonds. I just hate the double standard.

You could go with a sign like:

“Die in a stable fire, nag!”

or

“Barbaro: soon to be the Other, Other, Other White Meat!”

When's the last time Barbaro donated to charity, for example? Or worked for peace in the Middle East? The Kill Barbaro blog is a blessing to us all.
