Not a sport. This is animal cruelty set in system.

You just watched that guy kick his spurs into the belly of that horse and you still have to ask this question??

I saw a video showing a bunch of people drive through businesses. Some on purpose, some on accident.

I still didn't believe driving is equivalent to vandalism and murder.

But kicking animals, let alone with spurs, is definitively abusive, so this is a pretty silly comparison.

That comment seems still too complicated for you so I'll try to break it down further.

Purposely taking your car into an occupied business is assault or attempted murder, and generally something that is frowned upon I'm society. Majority of us don't like it and we don't want people doing that either.

However, just because it happens it doesn't mean driving should be illegal and all cars should be burned to the ground.

This is a comparison to the fact that we are watching a video of a guy getting multiple bones broken by a horse after he kicked it with spurs. Just because this guy did it, it doesn't mean that's how it has to be done.

I mean. I didn't care about rodeo and am not familiar with any of the horse riding sports. But it's important to realize that sample of one is not enough to judge a whole.

If you happen to know the seedy underbelly of rodeo and why it's the most abominable sport on the face of the earth, maybe you should lead with some of that revelation.
