I understand they are going to be kinda, sorta, alright with it. Not happy, but OK with it. Brother Buzz Feb 2020 #3

Nobody knew about this? I know he used a fake name, but still.

Someone said he did group rodeo and never came off his horse, but people get thrown from horses all the time. Pure luck I guess.

All bet are off if he was bull riding.

Former SF Giants manager Bruce Bochy said, "I'm a little disappointed he didn't call me to be part of this thing."

I don't know rodeo that well, but it sounds like the risk to him is minimal. He's been doing it since the age of 15.
