BLOODLINE Gamefowl and Cockfighting History

BLOODLINE, hosted by Jesse Sidlauskas, explores the oft-unwritten history of cockfighting, one of humanity's oldest pastimes. From Roman generals, British kings and U.S. presidents to yeoman farmers, clergymen, the sport has been endorsed almost as often as banished by governments. Even when forbidden, though, the sport has persisted. We'll explore the stories of this legendary pastime and its most famous--and infamous--participants.
