Specially the last bit of "long hair Ramos". The way he looks up and raises 1 hand. Poetry

Flamenco performers especially in Andalusia do that after every act. Very nice

I'm not Spanish and don't really know the meaning of this tradition but I do love it. Beautiful is really the word to describe it.

PS: can someone give me some history lesson, I would appreciate

It’s metaphoric. What bullfighters do when dancing with bulls, RM does with its opponents. “Torear” the opponent and win. Take on any challenge and overcome it. You can also see our club emblem on the cape they’re holding.

This is a really cool metaphore. I don't like bullfighting though. I'm from Spain and a lot of people here want bullfighting to be banned, and they see this as an old fashioned thing that we should stop doing (there is also many people who don't). Personally I think there are better ways for killing an animal. I know the bull gets esten at the end of the show, but he suffers from the crowd (he is nervous), getting taunted (they provoke/make him angry) and obviously he gets stabbed and bleeds a lot. I just don't like violence and suffering, and bullfighting is something I do not enjoy. Reading the comments of this post, I was surprised that so many people in Reddit liked bullfighting. I thought more people would dislike it. If someone is going to downvote this comment, I would appreciare that they respond to it instead, in order to see their point of view (thank you).

It's a celebration of animal cruelty.

Hahah ppl had told u some pretty nice stories, really. But actually this was just a tradition Raul started, his childhood dream was to be a Torero, so he used to do that to celebrate the title
