Whippets Instead Of Mavericks

[joggerjayne]

Okay, okay ... this is ridiculous.

Sky have moved the Thursday evening Netball to make way for ...

... whippet racing.

Yes, seriously!

SkySports4, 8pm (the netball slot, Hello!!!) ... is showing

... "greyhound racing from Swindon".

Purleeeeze!

So, anyway ... tonight's netball has been bumped to SkySports3 at 4pm.

Yes, the tea time slot. =0(

Having said which ... if you have to miss a week of our beloved Thursday Netball, this is not a bad week to miss. As I expected, they are showing the Mavericks v Thunder game. Thunder spanked the pants off Mavericks, so it was a bit one sided. Some fantastic netball from Thunder, apparently, so I'll watch it for that, but I'm not going to say that you must see this game.

Whippets are a good deal smaller than greyhounds. The racing of either should be banned.

[joggerjayne]

Why should it be banned?

[johne1892]

...is it because the whippets keep escaping from the traps before the hare arrives?

[joggerjayne]

Because whippets are small, and they can escape through the gaps in the cage?

They tend to just get dumped when their racing life is over, they get an injury or they are simply not fast enough which causes enormos welfare problems. Some unscrupulous owners just kill them.
No racing = no problem.

Wye aye, man.
