Is there a more selfless profession in America than that of the rodeo clown?
Seriously. First, they get tagged with a title that invites mockery. Then they run around for hours, placing themselves in between cowboys and the horns of a pissed-off bull, only to risk head injury by being throw fifteen feet in the air like a colorful flapjack, all for our twisted entertainment. That’s what being a true American hero is all about, as you’ll see in this video taken yesterday at the National Western Stock Show’s Professional Bull Riders Denver Chute Out.
Rodeo clowns, I salute you.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
