Spanish Matador Offers Lessons for Takeover Spectators
April 8, 2024

"They cannot even dodge the slowest moving things on the road...."

MADRID—In the heart of Spain, where the art of bullfighting is revered, a renowned matador has drawn parallels between his daring feats in the bullring and the reckless behavior of street takeover spectators. Juan Ramírez, a seasoned matador with decades of experience, believes that the spectators who participate in these dangerous events lack the basic skills to….well, just basic skills really.

"In bullfighting, we must anticipate the bull's movements and react swiftly to avoid being gored. It requires agility, focus, and respect for the animal," Ramírez explains. "But these takeover spectators, they stumble and trip over their own feet when a car approaches at a leisurely pace. It is absurd."

Ramírez's criticism stems from recent incidents where street takeover spectators have been injured or killed by vehicles performing stunts. He sees a stark contrast between the discipline and skill required in bullfighting and the reckless abandon displayed by takeover spectators.

"These young people have no regard for their own safety or the safety of others. They think they are invincible, but they are fooling themselves," Ramírez states. "They cannot even dodge the slowest moving things on the road. How can they expect to escape unscathed from a charging bull or a speeding car?"

Despite his harsh criticism, Ramírez hopes that his words will serve as a wake-up call to the youth involved in street takeovers. He urges them to channel their energy into more constructive pursuits and to respect the dangers inherent in their reckless behavior.
