Cheyenne Rodeo Announcer Lies About Calf Injuries

[minilove23445]

not true that all the care about is a score..cause they get dqed and can not ride in rodeos for several months (look up rules)

[SHARKonlineorg]

@minilove23445 And yet they're in the next day's round. PRCA contestants consistently violate the rules and nothing happens to them while the animals' suffer.

[gex2543]

I don't think they really should say sorry fokes this calf is going to die because then the crowd will get all sad and depressed and heck they may even rite he's just trying to keep every one calm and the annoncers dont know every thing that's happening

[animalpersonforever]

Why would he sit on the baby??????

[SHARKonlineorg]

@animalpersonforever Same reason he injured it in the first place: callous disregard of its life.

[danrelle07]

@SHARKonlineorg that's a load of crap. these people do care about these animals. I am one of them so get an education and go to an actual rodeo before you believe everything people post online.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@danrelle07 ""go to an actual rodeo"" Well, we're glad you think Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo, the stupidly name 'daddy of em all', the PRCAs largest outdoor rodeo is not an actual rodeo.

[TheHUNKAPOO]

This one made me laugh? Don't we chop off their heads and butcher them so we can buy dinner at the store when theyre older? Get a life.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@TheHUNKAPOO So you approve of injuring/abusing animals for fun since they're going to die for food anyway?

[AnimalLeftist]

Stupid, pointless, cruel. That's rodeo.

[danrelle07]

@AnimalLeftist um no actually that's not rodeo. I f you knew anything about it you would now that's not true. Im giving you a personal invitation to come out and go with me to a rodeo so i can show you the real story. We rodeo people take great pride in our animals and love them.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@AnimalLeftist Couldn't help but laugh at this foolish person's (danrelle07) post. We know of your rodeo background, but we'll leave it to you to tell it about it.

[STINKYxCHEEZMAN]

Now that's how you tenderize some tasty veal!!!

[MyFloridaCracker]

I was at Frontier Days and it is not fair to say that the crowd was uncaring. Many in the crowd gasped when the calfs were jerked back. A few people left and many people, especially tourists, voiced their anger out loud.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@MyFloridaCracker Apparently not loud enough that the rodeo took it to heart.

[AnimalLeftist]

@MyFloridaCracker , did YOU leave? I love how the announcer bellowed "Are you proud to be an American??" You should all be ashamed of yourselves. "The calf doesn't want to leave on a stretcher". The calf didn't want to be there, at ALL. Unbelievable, how blatant the cruelty is, and how blithely you can "justify" it. Disgusting.

[AnnaSmart6]

I find it funny that you accuse cowboys of being so cruel and yet the people that post messages say how cowboys should be strung up by their balls and in other messages I have seen people write how they wished all cowboys were dead. You are being cruel to a lot of peoples way of life and I am just waiting for one of you crazy F*****S go on a shooting rampage at a rodeo. You start trouble on purpose at rodeos. Police are called and you video tape! YOU break the law.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@AnnaSmart6 ""You start trouble on purpose at rodeos. Police are called and you video tape! YOU break the law."" Please cite the law we're breaking?

As for people leaving comments, which are their own opinions, that has nothing to do with us or our mission to end animal abuse. Your rodeo supporting friends verbally, and in writing in this posts, threaten our safety, where's the difference?

[bungodancer]

@AnnaSmart6 making money off of rodeos aint a cowboy way of life, it's fame seekers, 'real' cowboys sure don't make money by going on the rodeo road and they sure as hell don't treat animals like that

[crayolaaiLy]

your a dumb ass bitch learn what your talkkin about

[SHARKonlineorg]

@crayolaaiLy Learn to speak conversationally, not like a foulmouthed idiot.

[MSUBooBoo]

"like rodeo people in general, are habitual liars"

That's a pretty broad generalization.

[SHARKonlineorg]

@MSUBooBoo It's befitting the numerous rodeo people we've come in contact with.

[bottzxl32]

Sons of bitches belonng in hell. This shit Is pure fucking evil. These people are not human as humans care. This fucker should die infont of the entire arena!!!

[Perfect2ATee]

Rodeo scum bags.

[Horsegal143]

I agree with you. rodeo should stop. We need to find a way to shut down the crulty of these acts!!!!

[wallz93]

@Horsegal143 ya we should i hate it

[bungodancer]

@wallz93 yes you should. How many of your 'best' horses have you sent off to slaughter??? You self centered twit. Have a clue or heart, . A horse is a living, feeling being,  so are calves(someboys babys), seemingly, much more than you can claim.

[rodeohand91]

when a person is doing something and breaks something it is just like a calf when it is hurt. and i will tell you that i broke a calfs leg and you know wat i did i fixed the leg fattened it up and u can figure the rest out.

[SHARKonlineorg]

rodeohand91: Breaking animals' legs under the guise of entertainment is wrong. And please don't start with the 'accidents happen' nonsense. We've got so many instances of animals being injured and/or killed, if these were all 'accidents', the term "professional" should not be used by the rodeo. When more money means having the best time on the clock, it's the animals that pay for a contestant's rough, abusive handling.

[rodeohand91]

i am sorry dude but u r wrong

[SHARKonlineorg]

rodeohand91: Wrong about what? Breaking animals' legs for entertainment?

Best time = more money?

So-called professionals constantly initiating 'accidents' with the animals paying the price?

[rodeohand91]

it does not happen every time. we dont do it on purpose and its like if MJ slam duncked it and when he came down and broke his leg. its a sport and will never ever stop being Americans toughest sport on dirt.

[SHARKonlineorg]

rodeohand91: Rodeo contestants breaking an animal's leg while trying to beat the clock and earn the most money is not, in any way, comparable to a basketball player breaking his leg.

[rodeohand91]

i am sorry but like i said i am right and your wrong. its a sport and will never ever stop being Americans toughest sport on dirt.

[SHARKonlineorg]

rodeohand91: Yes, you apparently are a sorry person. Pathetic that you can't even defend the ludicrous argument you're trying to make other than saying you're right and we're wrong.

[xobrentox]

The difference is that Michael Jordan is a willing participant in basketball; those calves aren't given a choice.

[rodeohand91]

hey thats like a old person walking and breaking a back or hip or something its all the same thing. and leave the announcer alone.

[smalltownskgirl]

Oh yeah and one more thing.. We LOVE our animals. It's unfortunate when this happens..

Really this is not purposeful harm to the animals. It's entirely accidental and can happen anywhere, not only in rodeos, but on ranches and farms too, completely accidentally.

And about the vet not checking over the animal well... Hes not going to do an entire medical check and procedure in the middle of the arena! He can finish when they are out of the arena away from all the noise and spectators.

[SHARKonlineorg]

smalltownskgirl: Vet checks outside the arena? Little to none.

[cedarfox1]

bahahahahaha it didnt hurt the calf one bit. out of all the rodeos ive gone to ive never seen one calf walk away harmed.

[SHARKonlineorg]

cedarfox1: They must all just get hurt performing for our cameras. Right.

[smalltownskgirl]

Oh my gosh!

"All rodeo contestants care about is a score."

If I hear that ONE more time, I am going to completely freak out!

We do not only care about scores.

The stock are taken very good care of.

Have you ever eaten beef? If a rancher (a world I'm very familiar with) is driving cattle to a new pasture, they may have to rope the odd stray calf. This is part of moving it to better pasture so YOU can eat! This can happen on a real ranch too.

It's not on purpose! Your the real liars.

[SHARKonlineorg]

smalltownskgirl: Do you use a clock and jerkdowns on your ranch?

[sakinehbs]

they need to hang those cowboys with their balls.

[liftncharge]

Whomever put this together needs to stick to what they know...Not rodeo or livestock....go back to the city and leave people who are real stewards of rodeo and livestock to what we know...your truth stretching is crazy..you really are clueless...stop trying to be an expert on nothing that you know about...you are not correct in any of your commentary of this...stick to what you know not us...YOU are the Liars trying to stretch things...

[SHARKonlineorg]

liftncharge: The problem with video is that it shows what happens. Rodeo people have always relied on deny, deny, deny. Video trumps denial every time. That is why Cheyenne has now sunk to the lowest cowardice by banning videocams. Y'all should move to North Korea. Rodeo people would fit in just great there.

[jeaniemarriott]

You idiot, the vidio shows clearly how many were injured.Cowboy!!!! what cant speak ...cant lie.open your eyes

[smokeybiut]

WTF, It is what it is. Shame on you for pretending its different

[amie035]

A real cowboy on a real outfit would be FIRED for doing this!!! I know real cowboys that have pulled baby calves out freezing mud holes and kept them in their bunk houses overnight to keep them alive. These are RODEO clowns not Cowboys!!! Rodeo SUCKS!

[ROBERTCHARLO]

yeah ive brought them in the house just to keep them alive

[dasmooth15]

U guys are suck cry babies i bet all of your ancestors did this everyone did at some time so go back were u came from and please stop being annoying and go away we dont want to hear your shit

[SHARKonlineorg]

dasmooth1: I think you're a little confused. You're on our site, we're not on ours. If you don't like the truth of our videos, don't let the door hit you in the brain on the way out.

[MagellansUnderwear]

you know, eating animals is natural,it's what we are designed by nature to do. creating elaborate sports out of our animals is barbaric, wasteful, and cruel.

The misunderstanding and misuse of "Born in the USA" is also lost on the crowd.

And fuck hiding the calf in the box. If you drag your wife and kids to this shitshow, they need to see the reality that is putting this calf down.

Fuck rodeos. the old west Cowboy is a myth, Rodeos are stupidity in action.

[travelertim88]

I took that calf home,its doing just fine.The calf is now grown.His name is joe and he runs free on 500 hundred acres.

[SHARKonlineorg]

travelertim88: Real men don't either abuse animals or lie about it. Man up!

[alphaeaglethyme7]

well i was there on that day and i feel you are making a soap out of this...its not as bad as u make it and why do u spend so much money, time and effort on this issue of rodeo? maybe u should spend some time helping people...wow ... and if u say so should rodeo...i say they do...be tough wear pink for breast cancer... so r u making a difference in the world really?

[SHARKonlineorg]

alphaeaglethyme7: Your post - "its not as bad as u make it"

Apparently because it didn't happen to you?

Your post - "why do u spend so much money, time and effort on this issue of rodeo?"

Because SHARK is an animal protection organization, and rodeo abuses, maims and kills many animals.

The whole wearing pink for cancer accomplishes exactly, ummm, nothing??? But it's what you rodeo folk flock to, isn't it? Empty gestures designed to try to hide your animal abuse.

[cowboybibee]

once again im goin to tell you to go back up north you yankee.. if you dont like it go back up north

[SHARKonlineorg]

cowboybibee: Not gonna happen. You ignore animal abuse. We do not.

[cowboybibee]

why dont you shark ppl go back up noth you yankee ppl.. yall need to shut up... there are dyin kids all over the world dyin and starvin and yall are worried about th e animals.. just go back up north and leave us alone you losers

[SHARKonlineorg]

cowboybibee: The real losers are the ones who try to hide their cruelty behind other issues, such as "dyin kids all over the world dyin and starvin."

[NaruhinaXSasusaku]

Injured? ..Their necks look broken.

[SHARKonlineorg]

NaruhinaXSasusaku: At least some of those injuries were undoubtedly fatal.

[NaruhinaXSasusaku]

Some? I thought they all died. What happens if they survive?

[SHARKonlineorg]

NaruhinaXSasusaku: No, they don't all die. The ones that survive will go to slaughter when they are too big for use in rodeos.

[14rodeogirl]

No animals r a big deal 2 me i just dont make a huge deal bout it wen one dies! Animals die everyday for lots of different reasons, yet u only see the accedental ones. Im sure the cowboys hurt the animals on purpose cause they hate animals so much, thats y they own and raise them so they can abuse them NOT! y dont u go to a country where they kill the animals on purpose. In Spain they call it art we they purposly stab the bulls and all u can do is complain about the so kalled animal abuse here.

[SHARKonlineorg]

14rodeogirl: SHARK has filmed bullfights in Mexico, and other abuses, but rodeos rank right up there, and now rodeos have partnered with bullfighters in Spain, and one of our next videos will expose that unholy alliance between fellow animal abusing mafias.

[14rodeogirl]

This is a bunch of bull shit! Your stupid little group needs to get a life and stop complaing about nothing. Oh ya an stop talkin shit about Justin McKee he is definatley more of a man than ull ever be! He doesnt have to apolagise shit to u dumb fucks so you can go skrew!

[14rodeogirl]

This is a bunch of bull shit! Your stupid ass little group needs to get a life and stop complaing about nothing. Oh ya an stop talkin shit about Justin McKee he doesnt need to apolagise shit to u since he didnt do anything wrong! Hes more of a man then ull ever be so you dumb fucks so you can go skrew!

[SHARKonlineorg]

14rodeogirl: So rodeo animals injured and killed are "nothing" to you. Yep, yer a rodeo person fer sure.

Do you kiss your momma with that filthy mouth?

[FoxMotocross]

dude you guys need a readl job buncha tree huggers tell some one who fuckin cares and as far as callin me a wanna be cowboy all yall can get fucked if you dont like the godamn rodeo dont watch it you fagett go get a mocha and complain about how your not leagaly aloud to get married to other men fuck off.

[SHARKonlineorg]

FoxMotocross: You are a fine representative of the rodeo industry.

[hockdoctor]

your videos sure self serving for your cause arent they? you dont expose anything but what you want people to think. dont you think maybe the sides on the injury sled are so the calf doesnt fall out?

[SHARKonlineorg]

hockdoctor: Ridiculous. That sled was around for an age with walls until SHARK investigators showed up. Animals are tied down on the sled. They can hardly move, much less fall off. The walls were designed to hide.

[tyler4love]

your accusing someone of abusing humans because he or she has a different point of view when it comes to animal abuse? Isn't that stereotyping, and also pretty closed minded? And sportrettetleben your the kind of person from a little bitch country that if were invaded would depend solely on America for help.....Then receive help and then bitch about they way it was provided.

[Abrading1]

Who gives a damn! Knock it's hoofs off, skin it and throw it on my grill. Yummy!! By the way, it's not a BABY it a calf. A dumb animal whose sole purpose is for food or entertainment. This lucky calf got to satisfy both. Pass the A-1 please!!!!

[SHARKonlineorg]

Abrading1: Yep, yer a rodeo person fer sure.

[Abrading1]

Actually No I'm not. I find Rodeos to be nothing more than rednecks playing with their food. You couldn't be more wrong. I am however a person who believes in People Rights over Animal Rights.

[SHARKonlineorg]

Abrading1: In that case, your apparent belief that fighting animal abuse somehow detracts from human rights is incorrect. Cesar Chavez was a human rights activist, and yet he spoke out about animal cruelty such as rodeos, dogfighting, bullfighting and cockfighting. The two are not separate issues, but rather are together. Those who abuse animals tend to abuse humans as well.

[quolatrini]

I wouldn't worry too much about 'Abrading1'. He or she is just trying to be vitriolic. Keep posting these videos.

[SHARKonlineorg]

quolatrini: Yes, he/she/it has posted on a number of SHARK's videos, and he/she/it is fooling no one.

We certainly will continue to post the videos. Thanks!

[HushemFlupskluk]

You damn right you are..

[sportrettetleben]

i dunno what the hell went wrong with u bloody us americans, somehow only the most dump people must have gotten over the seas back then, and the generations got even more stupid and gnorant over time...

u are b far the most ridiculous country in the world, proud of ur stupidness, blind for the important things in the world, and the few people who actually have a brain, as the maker of this vidoe, are those u hate because u cant think in ur fuckin heads full of fast food and bad tv and sickness

[Nicolejane12]

well at least you got through to them a little keep trying

[mouse737]

god i love rodeo and hate ppl who make videos like this oh Ps cheyenne is my home town and rodeo makes that town run fuck you if you want to shut the sport down oh ya go fuck your self ppl

[anaMOOOcow1]

gabullrider51207 your darn stupid.

I use to love rodeo but these videos have opened my eyes.

[mouse737]

go fuck your self

[SHARKonlineorg]

mouse: Yep, yer a rodeo person fer sure.

[gabullrider51207]

u hear the fans laugh lol thats what im talking about!!!!steve u cocksucking sonofabitch damn right that score is money....are u a vegatarian steve??u dicksucker....those calves are tomorrow nights supper fuck them and u u bastard ass child molesting cocksucker...i would like 2 see u at a rodeo me and my fellow cowboys would beat ur ass...i wish u would get gored by a bull u stupid mother fucking cock bandit so go choke on a nigger dick u lowlife dick breath cum sucker

[SHARKonlineorg]

gabullrider: You truly are a great representative of the rodeo industry.

[gabullrider51207]

shark online is a liberal treehugging cock sucking sonofabitch fuck those stupid ass calves thats food

[SHARKonlineorg]

gabullrider: Yes indeed, you ARE a rodeo person!

[ayk1987]

Why do people have to create sports than involve animals? Isn't football, baseball, and basketball enough?

[jacobmellett]

you bunch of fucking greenpeace treehugging cocksuckers I would luv to fucking smack you all

[SHARKonlineorg]

jacobmellett: Yes, it is a well documented fact that those who are cruel and violent to animals also wish to, and often act on impulses to be violent to humans.

[jacobmellett]

Youre fucked buddy I bet your dad beat when you were a kid. Get a grip on reality and eat a nice big delicious steak you tree hugging homo!! fuck off

[SHARKonlineorg]

jacobmellett: Thanks again for reinforcing the point.

[feathers666]

Why?

[CountyLT76]

This is the dumbest video I have ever seen posted. How dare you talk down america, rodeo or the announcer just because a calf died. This doesnt happen frequently. If you go to enough rodeos you know this. 500 runs and they used the sled 2 times. Are you kidding me. And then you have the nerve to tie in the soldiers, army, big business, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. Thats amazing.

[SHARKonlineorg]

CountyLT: Don't blame the messengers. The announcer lied. The calves are brutalized, and some are injured and even killed. We expose those who commit the abuse, and those who support those who commit the abuse. Don't want to be exposed? Stop committing the abuse!

[FoxMotocross]

this anouncer needs his asswupped shut up man you obviously dont know shit if your sayin rodeo cowboys dont care about the animals. and you got some false fuckin imformation man these animal aint diein. yeah if you rope a puppie itll probly break his damn neck but it aint breakin a calfs neck yall piss me off if you aint a proud american than you can kiss my country ass man get educated you piece of shit

[SHARKonlineorg]

FoxMotocross: You consider yourself a "proud American?" You're an embarrassment!  Dude, you're just an obscene wannabe, as in, "I wannabe a cowboy, but instead I'm just in rodeo."

[Magickintheair]

If they practiced this "sport" using puppies, instead of calves, I wonder if people would be less inclined to watch? For some reason, people seem to value the life of one baby animal over another... If puppies were mistreated this way, the abusers would undoubtedly be sent to prison. If baby cows are treated this way, the abusers are applauded and cheered for.

There is something wrong with people who find it amusing to watch babies being injured and killed.

[noony999]

tight . let me do that to you rodeo dude

[lastchancetodazle]

I dont see any videos on cattle slaughter? These videos cant hold a candle to what actually goes on in slaughter houses. I'll be you 10 bucks someone took that calf home and used it. Now how is that cruel?

[SHARKonlineorg]

lastchancetodazle: You are beyond hope.

[SuttonBrice]

Dude your a fucking dumb ass and should get a little knowlege before you open your fat mouth. Did you make up this all on your own or did you need some of your dumb ass friends to help.

[furry1457232]

lol i dont think all ti evidence makes ne point what so ever ... i mean ne idiot can see it animal torture even without this overwhelming evidence ... keep up the good work mate ... these assholes should have their limbs choped

[dontweakn]

you guys are a bunch of tree hugin dumbasses that know nothing about rodeo

[SHARKonlineorg]

dontweakn: We sure know something about rodeo lies, yes?

[horsecrazypeep101]

You know nothing about rodeos! (dontweakn) Why don't you research it yourself!

[Pyrethryn]

This practice is barbaric. And as for the state: ranching is a small fraction of the total economy- oil and methane are the big ones now. They need to start an oil rodeo or something, and practice another antiquated art for the ignorant enjoyment of many. I am out of here in about two weeks, and it couldn't come faster.

[Pyrethryn]

Let me have it:

I am a west coast progressive who is finishing a master's at Uni of Wyoming in near-by Laramie, and went to Frontier Days earlier today and was bored stupid by my very first rodeo. I did ah "oh shit" and jerked my head away the first time a baby calf was roped and tied, but by the millionth (or whatever) one, I had grown acustomed to it. I really, really wish I had seen this video before and convinced the several other people I went with not to go. Proof positive right here.

[pontxomtz]

redneck savages, period.

[JAC123RIVWYO]

I live in Wyoming and go to the CFD's every year. Most the time that kind of stuff dont happen. For the last 7 years ive been Bull and Bronc ridding and i watch all the events. Ive never seen a rider stay in the compitition after a Jerkdown.

[SHARKonlineorg]

JAC: We saw a great many jerkdowns last year, and don't remember a single contestant being called for it.

[purpos50]

animali voi schifosi

[purpos50]

cabboi dei miei coglioni fate schifo se venite da me la corda ve la metto io al collo lurdi

[mattamomo]

hey to all you rodeo lovers how would you like it if you had a rope thrown round your neck jercked back by a horse left dying without any accompliment or examination and even having people laughing at you as if it were some sick jock you wouldent so how the hell is it any different from what is happening here

[pripoxa]

bastardi brutti figli de na mignotta

[CHHS4477]

this is stupid

[sniderangus]

Alright just shut the fuck up tree hugging homo's.. I could go on about this but i dont wanna get into it!!! JUST SHUT UP ALREADY! NOTHING YOU CAN DO OR SAY WILL EVER STOP THE SPORT OF RODEO. Cattle are not pets nor will they ever be pets and they dont get treated like pets. they are ANIMALS! Keep on posting videos, You will NEVER! accomplish anything because of these. Rodeo WILL continue.

[SHARKonlineorg]

sniderangus: Another fine display of rodeo family values.

[rennfairelover]

actually, if i can get people to agree with a sit in on a rodeo that we all go to together, i can do something about it with their help.

[p1dge79]

what I don't understand is how a supposedly enlightened country like America still wants to act like pre pubescent neanderthals. There is a reason why men don't have to act like this anymore it's called progress. It is not "getting back to your roots" it is ridiculous. If you want to remember your good old days get rid of your ipods and mobiles, live under canvas and stop playing at it on the weekends...

to all those supporters sorry did i use too many long words for you there !!!

[3310888]

u now what if u ant got nothing else better to do but put down rodeo and stuff u need to get a life tree hugger homo rodeo is one of the best sports i thaink ans so does a whole lot of orther people so get a life

[hardwoodtech84]

it is just gonna be processed for veal wtf u tree huggers

[SHARKonlineorg]

hardwoodtech: Thanks for displaying more rodeo carelessness about animal suffering.

[SHARKonlineorg]

A racist, homophobic, obscene rodeo supporter we have dubbed "Rodeo Eddie" has stepped forward to champion the cause of rodeo with three YouTube videos.

SHARK has posted a link to the three videos at the top of SHARK's ShameOnCheyenne website.

This is the real thing -- the repulsive reality of rodeo people.

Thanks for showing the world, Eddie!

[UnseenTiger]

This is discusting! I can't believe people could openly lie about an animals condition to try to cover up what's really going on! I seen some of your other videos and I'm glad that people like you go to these rodeos and expose what really goes on! Nice work, hopefully some day rodeos like these will either be shut down or have strict regulations on what they can and can't do concerning the animals. Thanks!

[HorseloverDurangoH]

I hate rodeos but why dodge!!!!I was planning on getting a dodge ram when I was older but how can I now!Darnit!

[diane18944]

A nation is judged by how they treat their animals.

America should be ashamed.

This makes me sick.

Your work is wonderful I support you Shark 100% you do good work because your a good person.

[chris37uk]

shameful that US politicians allow this to continue

[Sharoo888]

Do you know if Australia does anything like this? I know they have rodeos but not what they do i've never been or plan to go to one.

[SHARKonlineorg]

Sharoo888: There are unfortunately rodeos in Australia. We have heard that part of Australia has outlawed calf roping, but there may be loopholes.

[SHARKonlineorg]

Sharoo: It sounds like calf roping is still going on in Australia, but there are good people there trying to stop it.

[Shazzasaloon91]

Yes it is still happening in Australia. Some rodeos here have strict rules e.g. if the rope jerks the calf off its feet, then the roper is disqualified. This at least provides some protection, but as in the US the rules are not enforced enough, and the calves still get injured.

[ragondavis]

These people make me soo mad! =[ but why havn't they been stopped yet? I mean you guys have tons of evidence!!

[SHARKonlineorg]

ragondavis: It's all about the money. Thanks to corporate rodeo sponsors such as Dodge, Coca-Cola, Southwest Airlines and AT&T, the rodeo mafia has a lot of money to pass around.
