Talk:Jallikattu Premier League

"Bull embracing" is euphemistic
In this edit I removed the phrasing "bull embracing" because it's ridiculously euphemistic. Across the board in normal English parlance, "embrace" connotes tenderness and affection, which is not the object of this sport. Depending on how the sport is played, people either grab the bull's hump and ride it for as long as possible, or until the rider can bring it to a stop, or they grab stuff from its horns, etc. "Bull wrestling" might be a better description, but I think "bull riding" is probably a more apt description. Whatever the case may be, "embracing" is not the right terminology, and this has come up a bunch of times at Jallikattu, where people seemed to be going out of their way to soften the description since the "sport" has gotten a lot of push back from animal rights groups. Many sources, including this and this describe it as "taming", which again is far different than "embracing". Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:35, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
