Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com – State Senator Wants Cockfights, with Gloves

Oklahoma State Senator, “long-time defender of cockfighting”, obviously has nothing better to spend his time working on.

But State Sen. Frank Shurden, a Democrat from Henryetta and a long-time defender of cockfighting, said the ban had wiped out a $100-million business.

To try to revive it, he has proposed that roosters wear little boxing gloves attached to their spurs, as well as lightweight, chicken-sized vests configured with electronic sensors to record hits and help keep score.

This sounds like Rock’em Sock’em Robots… with chickens!
