The Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association would like to extend a sincere apology for the inappropriate act during the Bull Riding at the Saturday performance of the MRCA Rodeo.

The MRCA Board of Directors and over 600 members do not condone nor approve of this sort of activity. The MRCA Board of Directors is dealing with the situation firmly and quickly as this type of behavior will not be tolerated. The Sport of Rodeo is not meant to be a political platform. We are taking measures by training and educating our contract acts to prevent anything like this from ever happening again.

All Members of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association are very proud of our Country and our President. Once again our apologies to the Missouri State Fair and the fans who were in attendance and we hope to see you at another rodeo soon.

Sincerely,
The Missouri Board of Directors

Are they firing the announcer and the other participants? Will they be banned from future participation?

5. hope not. but I will give them this. That was an actual apology.

It didn't come with the maddening "if anyone was offended" qualifier.

9. That wasn't a person wearing the mask

It was a dummy, look at the broom propping it up in the photo.

10. and..it wasn't a person making the nasty comments over the speaker it was a microphone.

The most offensive source in this affair was the microphone.
