Say what you want about the All-Star Break… it sucks to be a sports fan right now. So much so I have to get my stories from abroad.

This one comes from Spain, and if you ask me, this is taking equal rights and the women’s movement a bit too far:

Women in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona, world-famous for its ferocious bull-running festival, are demanding their own version complete with cows instead of bulls.

A student Web site, www.estudiln.net, set the ball rolling with its campaign “Cows want to run” which asks for a separate encierro, as the bull-runs are known, where only women are allowed to take part.

The students say it’s only logical that women should have their own bull-run.

I really have two very different takes on this one. First off, no, it is absolutely not logical that women have their own bull-run. There is currently a bull-run that is open to anyone and everyone. The bulls do not discriminate, so there is no argument for a women’s only run. It makes less sense than the Chewbacca defense… which by the way makes more and more sense if you really look at it.

But, I will say this: Jackpot! Are you kidding me? A second, wimpier version of the bull-run for all those tourists and people with a little less sense of adventure, yet want to take part in this? This is a cash cow… pardon the terrible pun… waiting to happen. There’s absolutely no downside… well, unless you see so many different silly “bull-runs” popping up left and right until its a friggin’ ride at Disney Land as a negative. I guess that’s a downside. Do it anyway Spain, you’re going to have to do something to make up the losses in tourism from Beckham leaving Real Madrid.
