Jeff, I haven't addressed the rodeo thing because that was not the issue in the OP, and I'm focusing my discussion on that. We could draw parallel human activities all day long, and they would lead to nowhere but the rant section.
Perhaps our disagreement comes from semantics - you seem to believe that "antagonism" has to be "hostile". I'm using the "threatening" definition. In the video, no one is being "hostile" (unless you consider brandishing a "weapon" as hostile), but to a wild creature, merely being surrounded by potential enemies is certainly threatening, even if they're all smiling. |
My definition of antagonism was gotten from an online dictionary.
It didn't look to me like the croc was surrounded either, but anyway, I think you didn't like my tongue-in-cheek comment about the crocs smiling. |
