Is it necessary for 22 men to fight over a football for entertainment? Catch bass, weigh them and turn them loose? Drive a car fast around a track for 500 laps?!! Or run horses around a mile track? Purposely put up a fence or other barriers to jump your horse over when you could ride around? Or probably the most idiotic, pointless, useless sport of all, chase a little white ball around the countryside with a club?!!! Rodeo has done WONDERS for the continued improvement of the American Quarter horse for sure. Therefor, I deem it necessary. It costs these days probably $15 or so to get in to see a rodeo. Those who don't like it, like, don;t have to go see it.
