Cockfighting is a good sport, it
serves as an equalizer between the poor and the rich people. If you’re in a
cockpit, they will not treat you as other. Instead, they will treat you as a
friend because you’re belong to the community of cockfighters. It seems that
there’s a brotherhood in our circles. We don’t discriminate anyone. We are very
warm when we welcome each other. That’s why we are very comfortable every time
when we are in the cockpit. The atmosphere is very relaxing like what we feel
inside our house.
The good thing also is we don’t look
to our competitor as an enemy. We knew that this is only a sport. So, there’s
nothing personal with our fights. Sometimes, even you’re an ordinary cocker,
there are times that you’ll be matched with the big time breeders. There’s a
possibility that you can beat your idol. Well, that’s not a problem, even if
you’re not become a winner; to fight with them is already an honor. It will
boost your self-confidence and next time you will never be afraid who ever is
your competitor.
Unfortunately, there are people said
that there is no equality in cockfighting. According to them, that is only a
illusion and we are dreaming over the clouds. The society was designed like a
triangle. The rich people are always on top where ever they go while the poorest
one are always below the line. They noticed that’s there’s a VIP area in the
cockpit. So, there’s a special treatment for those people who have influence in
our society. They can also eat at a buffet in a special room that the derby
organizers prepared for them. They can bet
also a big amount of money in every fight. While the masses are only
envying of the extravagant lifestyle.
But in a cocker’s opinion, it is not
their fault if they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. They have
money, so they can do whatever they want. The most important is cockfight is
enjoyed both by the masses and the elite. And they are not also insulting the
simple cocker. So, there’s already an equality regarding this matter.
The critics don’t know that if you’re
a cocker, it is easy to approach influential people like politicians who are
also a cocker. If you will come to their office, you can’t easily approach with
them. You have to pass many processes before you could talk with them. But once
they should know that you’re also a cocker, they will entertain you. Provided,
there’s a chicken talk; for this is also their diversion. See, that’s the power
of cockfighting! So, don’t intimidate to the big personalities that you met if
they are also a cocker like you. Why don’t use this as an opportunity to extend
your network?
