| We aren’t in the south and i promise you Chad don’t like some of the Brazilians on his bulls. Nothing against the personally. We also are friends with them as well. Unless you own bulls at that level you have no idea why we feel this way. Again not all of them. |

| Fabiano rode our bull this weekend to win the short go didn’t have a problem with him. Cheered him on. Again it’s not all but their are some the try to get an advantage over the bull by taking so long in the chute or having 3 guys pulling the rope. Our chiropractor knows when we have certain Brazilian riders on our bull without even telling her.

Chandler's Mom - 2018-04-29 11:04 PM Frodo - 2018-04-29 8:21 PM CowboyUp!!! - 2018-04-28 7:42 AM  Christi, I found that funny as heck...Page and Berger invite all Brazilians to their ranches to ride and hang out ...We go to Pages once a week to practice on the new rank ones because most guys won’t try them...J.B. is an honorary Brazilian friend ..he respects the try and drive of a good Brazilian cowboy...I find it sad that people in this day and age are so small minded...tchau! I doubt the contractors have much choice but to accept Brazilian bull riders if they want to make a living hauling their bulls to PBR events. Why do you think, by the way, the use of the timer clock came about. I've heard these bulls bellowing in misery in the chutes while Silvano and Marchi purposely wait for the clock to come up and then wind down to one second before they call for the gate. It was the only way they could ride Stone Sober. Instead of bucking he hobby horsed around in circles.....that way they got their reride. That's my question---why do so many of them take SO long in the chute? Is it to wear the bulls down? It sure as crap irritates them. It's like the same ones make a practice of it weekly. And a few of them get disqualified because they don't even get out before the clock runs down. I don't get it. We saw one of the Brazilians (in LR ) just get off when the clock got down to around 5 seconds. Another one (can't remember for the life of me which one ) got mad and as the clock ran down he raked the bull across the head with his spur and stormed off. THAT didn't make it to the telecast, imagine. . . . 
Justin will quite often say "I don't know what more he wants from the bull". . . . And Shorty said something about it on this weekend's show also. |

I bet I know which ones!!!!! And congrats on Big Black---when I finally put two and two together and figured out it was your bull, I was so happy for y'all!!! |

Location: High heels in the air... | There's is a time clock for all riders to avoid soaking a bull...I think all riders have those moments in the chutes after injury or just fighting the mind game.
Maybe go to Brazil or Mexico and witness the struggles of a people trying to better their lives, be it soccer or bull riding or some other sport. The American dream is real and I support those dreams. Many of the guys love America so much, they have become permanent residents.
The guys respect/love the bulls and the sport. They train 2-4 hours a day, rope, ride, their work ethic is beyond comparison. Many hold jobs. They pay taxes and don't commit crimes. When I go to Brazil, there are 20-30 more great riders wanting to come to America...
I just don't understand how one can dislike any countries people. So sad... |

 Frodo, Brazilian riders have nothing to do with hurting bulls...they are rules for all riders hence the chute timer and Spurs and ropes that are measured to a standard. The ground in front of the chutes has a tendency to get hard and fast thus injuring more bulls and riders. Air Time was retired early because of his high leaps and size landing on that ground. Stock contractors do not hate Brazilians. You are only as good as your competition. I am sorry you hate my Brazilian family...
I have never heard a stock contractor say, "jee wiz, do I hope to draw a Brazillian who will soak my bull in the box until they're too worn out to buck to their full potential!" Hence, why the PBR has the timer now. The Brazillians have never had a good name with the stock contractors. And I'm not from the south  I don't think anyone has anything against them personally, just their riding style, I guess you would say. |

OMG  People don't dislike the Brazilians because they are from Brazil... the contractors don't like them because of how they treat the bulls. Pulling your rope as tight as you can and tying it off while the bull is still in the alley, and then pulling it tighter and sitting in the box as long as possible squeezing the air out of the thing is something I think everyone can agree on is ridiculous. |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | Regardless of the way your thread has turned, or the politics of it all, I for one am very sad about the passing of the two... The contractors care for these animals so much. I know the decisions were tough and that the families who own the bulls are going to have a hard time with their passing.
Sorry you lost your favorite OP  |

Thank you so much. . . . Like I said, I just feel quite a connection with these bulls. And Pearl was special to me. With his white face and socks, I just loved him. And we watched Big Dutch win LR last year. I felt so sorry for Mr Berger when the camera panned to him in Columbus--you could see how sad he was. It has to be comparable to walking past an empty stall of one of your horses when he walks past Pearl's empty lot. . . . |

And thank you Miss Roxie for the those wonderful pictures---I didn't mean to start a controversy, I just wanted to kinda honor the two great athletes one last time. I appreciate it. |

Very patriotic. You should lobby a new name for PBR. Pro Brazilian Bull Riders. PBBR. You don't think many young American bull riders come from poor backgrounds and work hard to be good at what they do?

Even when asked nicely .... you just don't give up do you ???
Regarding the loss of those two great bulls, it is a sad day for the owners AND the cowboys that were lucky enough to get to ride them. They have a lot of time and money invested in those animals! |

Location: west of East Texas | I am right now watching PBR recorded on my brother's TV. Can't say I've ever watched it before. So, ignorance here, but... why is desirable to have so many bulls that are ridden so few times? I'm guessing that the level of skill in the bullriders has greatly increased, not just the bull's skill. Why wouldn't it be kind of more balanced in favor of having bulls that could actually get covered and the fans actually see a score? I'm not saying 100% rideable but more than what I am seeing in this episode? |
