Texans CB Kareem Jackson, the team's 2010 first-round pick, could be the next pro athlete targeted by animal activists. On vacation in the Dominican Republic, Jackson attended two cockfights and even posted pictures on his Twitter feed of the events, according to KRIV-TV.
“My first time ever seeing chicken fight till the death it was crazy,” Jackson wrote on Twitter, according to KRIV, before later deleting the posts. “Look at all these people at these chicken fights: You would think it's a college football game.”
Unlike in the U.S., cockfighting is legal in the Dominican Republic so Jackson has broken no law. But on the heels of the Michael Vick dog-fighting conviction, it's somewhat surprising that any NFL player would crow about being at a cockfight.
