The fate of the thoroughbred Barbaro is blanketing the local news right now. I do care. Barbaro's story is yet another story of horse with Triple Crown potential who just didn't make it. Which sucks. And he was raised locally, which double sucks. And we still don't know whether Barbaro is going to make it or not. They still may have to put him down even after the surgery.
But ultimately he's just a horse. A talented and famous horse, but a horse. Why is he the lead story on the nightly news or the front page on every paper? Aren't people dying on the streets of Philadelphia? Lets have some perspective here.
