Think she'll take that over the lawsuit and settlement she will want?  Well, interestingly, when you go to a rodeo like Sisters, there are disclaimers on the ticket, that identify risks, and try and hold harmless the organization/ venue. Doesn’t mean they won’t try. The story went viral, and was even in the NYT, etc., so if you believe any media attention is good attention, unless they do get sued, it may actually be more popular than ever. Plus, in general, rodeo attendees are less likely I believe to be litigious - that is my general impression 🤔 Ticket disclaimers are practically worthless. They are a legality in most states to show there is a risk in attendance, but when in the normal course of events at the fault of the event it is meaningless. Hence, thrown bats that go thru netting, tires that fly thru fencing, and I would assume bulls jumping fences?! I've seen articles of rodeos sued over lack of security in a bar, lack of enough medical personnel, etc. There are multitudes of these types of lawsuits and most are settled by the insurance companies involved. And in my recent rodeo attendance, in general, the majority are of the rancher/rodeo "breed", who see everything about the scene a fun professional event that you know anything can happen. However, there are many who are there as a fad, and some as a drink-fest/party that have no real affinity to the event or sport . They are not real rodeo enthusiasts and in my view these folks are far, FAR more litigious. As is society in general... if there is a quick, easy way to make a buck they will do it. |

My son redeoed for a few years. The cowboys, you will not meet a finer, honest , humble , hard working group of men. They still live by a code. There’s a sign at the gate where the Cowboys enter shoots at Cheyenne that says “ somewhere around this arena is a little kid who wants to be just like you someday. You owe it to them to be the best you can be “

So are ticket disclaimers a bunch of bull, when the issue is a BUNCH of BULL?  |
