 Own It and Move On
 
Location: The edge of no where | Frodo - 2016-06-07 7:38 AM tebar - 2016-06-05 10:52 AM All I can say is. it is so nice to see a rodeo that you get a fair shake at. If you feel you've been given the wrong call, instant re-play makes the call if you challenge. I love Ashley and I think she is a beath of fresh air that the barrel racing industry as a whole needs. I can see why some object to the Elite wording and the announcer is not my favorite. With that being said I like to watch good rodeo's & I think the competition and the competitors are great. You do know the PRCA has not out lawed all these contestants they can work both,so as far as jumping ship, that is an un-true statement. I give them all a big hand for trying something new and getting more air time for Rodeo. You either Love this sport or you don't. I love the sport of rodeo. I hope it works out for the best to all involved.
As I understand it, those who are leaving have rejected their membership, they're not going back.
There have been a few that competed in both associations for quite a while....Shane Hanchey and Marty Yates are the first that come to mind. In order to enter PRCA rodeos, they just have to give up their ownership in ERA - but they can still compete in them. I'd like to see the ERA make it. It's weird looking at the PRCA standings and not seeing some of the best there. |

^^^^ THIS....it just amazes me that some continue to  about the ERA when it certainly is no skin off THEIR noses..... Any rodeo that gives the John Q "Public" a chance to view a rodeo on national air time can't be all bad......... |

Yea but the question is how many "John Q Publics" are actually viewing.
I did find a few ratings.
The Redmond Rodeo that aired on 4/13/2016 drew an audience of 55,000 viewers.
In contrast, World Championships of Curling that aired on 4/12/2016 drew an audience of 81,000 viewers.

26,000 more than those who watched the ERA Redmon rodeo. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Curling can be very exciting, sorta like golf. Women love watching curling because they critique the sweeping skills for their housekeeping duties.
I prefer watching flies fornicate. |

| I have watched the timed events from each of these rodeos, in an attempt to keep an open mind. However, I am not impressed. Certain events at one or two rodeos have been good but as a whole they have been pretty boring to watch. It still baffles me that they do not show every one. They have less contestants than the NFR and do not air live and still cannot manage to show each contestant. |

The competitors are obviously very, very talented.
In my opinion, what makes the tour boring is the lack of tradition. |

It shocked me. I really thought the PRCA rodeos were doomed without the celebs.

| August 2015 College Rodeo Finals only drew a viewership of 48,000.
Guess the big names do make a difference.

I will give them the fact that they are talented no doubt, but what makes it boring isn't lack of tradition. What makes these boring is the fact that it isn't this great competition with everyone is the team roping going faster than 6.5 and making it a knife fight to place. Or having to be everyone be 8 or faster in the calf roping. How many times has Tuf missed now? Or how about Trevor Brazile? I understand that is not going to happen at every performance. However, when you advertise yourself to be the best of the best I am hoping/expecting a lot better show than what I have seen so far as a whole. |

Remember when Suzanne Sommers thought Three's Company couldn't prosper without her so held the producers up for a monstrous raise. They called her bluff. She lost her career and the show continued to succeed without her. Ho Hum |
