The Rodeo Clown

A rodeo clown or bull fighter is a rodeo performer who works on bull riding contests. His primary job is to protect the rider from the bull after he dismounts or is bucked off, by distracting the bull and providing alternative targets for the bull to chase. Additionally, bull fighters may improve the bull rider's score by turning a bull back that runs down the arena (e.g., by grabbing his horn or getting the bull to follow him while the rider is on his back. Rodeo clowns also provide traditional clowning entertainment for the crowd between rodeo events, often parodying aspects of cowboy culture

The rodeo clown for PBR has got to be one of the toughest jobs in America. These are brave men. Without them, many a cowboy would have been crippled or killed. God bless all rodeo clowns. You have my greatest admiration and respect. Be safe.

@TheSunsetofAugust ~ I knew your Uncle, we rodeoed together for about 5 years. He was a great man and the best Bullfighter I ever knew. He is missed tremendously.

Matti and bonnie, please do not show how big of an idiot you actually are. Growing up behind the chutes, and in the pen fighting bulls myself, I can assure you that the flank rope has nothing to do with a bull's testicles. It actually functions like a feather tickler. It inflicts no pain. Also, the spurs that a bull rider uses are "fixed" meaning that they do not spin. Bull rider's spurs are to help them grip the THICK hide of a bull, not dig into his flesh. Do your research, do not judge.
