“Fastest Win” vs. “Fastest Kill”
I am watching the San Juan Coliseum Fights at the Solar Sports channel while writing this column and I had to stop as I counted how many times the word “kill” was mentioned when announcements about the fastest kill prizes for the ongoing Rambulan was being announce.
Like what I have written so many times, it should not be “FASTEST KILL”, because the right term should be “FASTEST WIN”.
Not only that “FASTEST WIN” is kinder to hear, but because “FASTEST WIN” is the appropriate term.
In cockfighting rules, a rooster will be declared the winner if he is able to peck his opponent twice and the opponent not bale to peck back after being give three chances to do so.
There are so many occasions when a winner was able to peck twice, but died after that. And there are also roosters that loses the fight after not being able to retaliate, but are still alive.
When “FASTEST KILL” is being mentioned so many times in succession, it already sounds like kill, kill, kill.
SABONG TAYO...
