This will be coming to NASCAR as well.
This story illustrates a Federal Government that has too much money, too much power, and too much time on their hands.
The Feds know of no problems here, nothing to violate any laws or regulations. But they have a person willing to come in to “mediate” the dispute anyway, and this person has already been talking with both side.
If we have a federal employee mediator who is sitting around doing nothing, we should fire them, not allow them to run around looking to drum up business for the feds.
Thank goodness the Rodeo didn’t fall into the trap of inviting the government in.

The NAACP objected to the name of the play (10 little Indians) because it had racial origins.
Originally the school cancelled the play. Then they changed their minds and renamed the play and went on with the show.
The NAACP still cried foul and screamed and whined that all administrators and teachers in the district should have diversity training. Guess who wanted to supply the diversity training through a company he owns and operates? You guessed it. The head of the local NAACP.
The district told him to go pound sand.
If they are forced to put Tejano on their main stages, can reggae be far behind? Or rap, hiphop, big band, freeform jazz?
If it’s market forces, then they lose money on Tejano.
The Rodeo should ask DOJ when they’re going after the Houston Rockets for a lack of white players.
GTFOOMC
Houston PING
Or at least more country music should be played at Rockets games.
“Good ‘ol boy’s system”
Translation: Too many white men in one place.
The hate-whitey groups even have the rodeo on the run now...hah! Amazing!
You’re white people! You are no longer entitled to your culture. Pucker-up an pay-up! Kiss that PC butt!
Slavery is our legacy. Get used to it. Get your white children ready to pay while your at it.
What, affirmative action in a sport as dangerous as the rodeo?? What are these people smoking?? And who the hell are THEY to dictate to whom a nonprofit organization grants scholarships??
The Distrct told them to go pound sand.
As well they should have!
1 Little Indians? The Agatha Christie story? Um...is there some reason the school wasn’t harassed by a few tribal councils? I mean...the NAACP are afrocentric, so they should stick to African American issues. If Native Americans weren’t offended, even changing the name of the play wasn’t a good idea.
I lost interest in the “rodeo” years ago when they switched to a concert format with rodeo events included. They’ve given in to all kinds of pressure to be “inclusive” but will never satisfy everyone.
People work hard for no pay to make the rodeo and all those scholarships possible. They don’t give scholarships to just anyone. Why should they? It is their money. Tell LULAC to build their own empire and give it to whoever they chose.
The decision making structure is necessary to ensure the integrity of the whole thing. Leaders grow into positions, not placed into roles. This is why it works so well.
I’m so tired of whiners
They’re obviously only capable of the Je$$e Jack$on school of empire: harass ‘em until they give you money to go away.
These Rodeo Board people have their heads on straight and they talk straight.
Why should a good Rodeo be ruined by some ridiculous people who are here illegally.
We don’t want your culture in our country. Keep it in your country.
“I’m so tired of whiners”.
Ain’t that the truth!
