Rodeo
I've saved the best sport for last, since it's my personal favorite. In rodeo, all the participants and most of the spectators wear “western-wear,” or cowboy outfits. Events include steer wrestling, calf roping, bareback and saddle bronco riding, barrel racing (for the female competitors) and the world's most exciting sport, bull riding. This sport can be both thrilling and dangerous. Unlike baseball, football, basketball and hockey, the rodeo competitor risks not getting paid if he or she fails to qualify in a particular event.
