Bold...that
WAS true before Barbaro....now I get all of my friends and aquaintances asking me, albiet every once in a while , how Barbaro is doing.
Most of them realize that this is somewhat unusual that that money is probably the reason that he's still with us.
But my point is NBC kept their cameras on him SO LONG that the casual watcher is now aware of the sport's casualties/injuries. Some of my friends refuse to watch now but like I said, my friends who dont watch often want to know what has become of him.
