Photo by Paul Cooley GERRY Every type of sport has been affected by the shutdown due to COVID-19, but none has been hit any harder than those who make their living in rodeo. Rodeo has no guaranteed contracts, no expense accounts, or payment for competing. In fact, participants must pay to compete, and when their events are canceled, the money stops completely. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which is the primary governing body for approximately 600 professional rodeos across the nation each year, reports that nearly two-thirds of those rodeos had to be canceled in 2020 due to the virus restrictions. This means that their more than 7,000 members, including over 5,000 registered cowboys and cowgirls, were “out of work” and had to find ways to survive financially.
