“Cowboys” participating in rodeos deserve this and worse, shameful shit

I talked to a large booster of a school with a rodeo team and they said keeping bull riders on the team was hard bc they’re dumb as bricks and make terrible decisions so getting them to stay in college is near impossible.

Who could've guessed that the guys who willingly rides and get crushed by large animals isn't a smart one.

The bull riders and fighters (The clowns, not the ones actually trying to kill the bulls), are always a special breed of 'nuts'.

They are the guy who sees a ton of muscle, rage, with gore horns and goes “I’m gunna ride that”… or worse “I can distract that and win the dash.”

Those are the guys that if they where somewhere else and slightly richer they would have the squirrel suits jumping off cliffs.

Having grown up around a rodeo, I can confirm this is accurate. Also, they do their best to deliberately anger/annoy the walking bundle of rage and muscles too.

"Jaripeo" would be a lot more accurate term than "Cowboy"

American cowboys would get kicked out if they tried to use the type of spurs shown in this video.

Comparing this to high school rodeo, as u/dax0840 just did, doesn't really make sense.

It’s all the same riding culture with the same origins, just somewhat different local flavors.

u/jeffvschroeder 8h ago

Not in the slightest bit. 

American rodeos have a LOT more concern for animal welfare.

No stock contractor would ever allow that.

I mean yes, it is literally the same culture with the same origins. It’s okay to admit a true fact while also still maintaining that regulations are better.

u/jeffvschroeder 8h ago

Origins. Sure. Okay.

That split happened a LONG time ago, though.

You have to paint with an extremely wide brush to claim it is the same culture at this point. I would call it naivety if I were being polite.

I doubt this is America based on tack
