Oxrageous in shambles; caught on video at Florida State Fairgrounds after way too many Zimas

Here's the story btw. Apparently Oxrageous refused to give his name to the media, so is only referred to as an anonymous bull. So much for his 15 minutes of fame.

Bull runs into rodeo crowd after escaping from pen at Florida State Fairgrounds​

TAMPA, Fla. - A crowd at a rodeo at the Florida State Fairgrounds got a lot closer to the action than they bargained for this weekend.

Christopher Thornton, who was attending his very first rodeo, said a bull had just been moved into a chute when it broke through the side and leaped toward the audience in the stands.

"Everyone was rushing, the parents were grabbing their kids. People were jumping over the chairs," Thornton recalled. "The first thing in my head said to record it. I couldn't believe this was happening at my first rodeo!"

Thornton recorded video of the incident that happened on Saturday, August 27. Video from the incident shows the bull running around the stadium as a person over a loudspeaker tells screaming guests to stay calm.

A handler on horseback was able to quickly rope in the bull from the other side of the fence and bring him back to the arena.

"Everyone just started clapping," Thornton said. "Honestly, if he wasn't able to catch the bull, more chaos would've definitely happened."

No one in the stands was hurt during the incident. The rodeo was put on by Gus Trent Horse Ranch.

FOX 13 did reach out to organizers, but they declined to comment. The Florida State Fairgrounds has not responded to a request for comment.

I wonder what the horse thought after they roped ox? That's a whole lot different than calf roping. Kudos to the horse for dragging him. However there will be lawsuits. I clearly heard him wheeze out "I can't breathe!"

Oxking was interviewed afterwards and was appalled at the treatment. "He's a good bull. Never had no problems with him. He didn't do nothing to deserve that kind of speciesist treatment. This will set back his entrance to rodeo school by months! There needs to be accountability. This is intolerable."

Gordon was that you on the horse?

Regardless of the punny joke, this video is amazing on sooooo many levels.

1) The fact the so many "cowboys" are just blindly running after this bull is beyond stupid. What did they think they were going to do if they ever got to it? "Hey bull, why don't you follow me back to the pen?"
2) How can so many "cowboys" NOT have lariats on them?
3) The cowboy that roped the bull showed off some mad skills. He had to throw over 2 rails AND a dumbass girl sitting on the fence and nailed it with one throw for a neck pull vs a horn pull.
4) The Horse, and everyone watching that video knows the horse I'm referring to and will forever more refer to said horse as "The Horse", was phenomenal! He held tight like a rock and even was able to jockey around the fence being opened while still holding tight and then pulled that bull OVER a retaining wall. Stud level = 100!
5) The guy filming it was as white of a black guy could be and by white I mean gay and from California. The fact he was even at a rodeo speaks volumes as he's probably been kicked out of several gay bars and this is his new meat market. NTTATWWT.

No, I was the one he was going after in the stands. He heard me say, "Is that rider gonna last eight seconds? Asking for a friend." Next thing you know, chaos.

Yes that horse is a highly-trained athlete. That was impressive the way he followed commands to run that bull down from inside the ring with all those people right there, then stood perfectly with his front legs braced for leverage, and hardly flinched when those idiots almost hit him in the face with the gate.

Freaking awesome. The Horse thinking, damn slack line, here it comes…

Only thing better would be if the cowboy roped the Ox from a Donkey.

A horse like that starts at five and up to six figures. They are athletes.
Hats off to the cowboy though for catching him on his first throw with so man obstacles.
Yellowstone (tv show) showcases some of these cowboys and horses. Truly impressive sport.

I’ve seen horses sell for $1 million at the Keeneland thoroughbred auctions. Doesn’t mean they perform well on the track but have great lineage.

I thought the “can’t breathe” came when the cowboy dismounted and put his knee on the Ox’s neck. The cowboy’s name remains anonymous, but rumors are swirling that it’s none other than Nat Love, better known by his chatter handle @gatorev12 . Get ready for the OLM riots.

You are mistaken sir, I have no beef with Ox.

Whether he feels the same about me is a matter of lively debate; but the fact remains that I openly rooted for his kin when living in Spain, which is apparently frowned upon at bullfights...but I showed #solidarity.

Swear to God, people will boo and whistle at you in Spain if you cheer for the bull.

Which seems to me a bit unsporting--they give EVERY advantage to the bullfighter (sticking the bull several times beforehand, etc.), and dammit, someone's gotta root for the underdog?!?

But real talk: that happened; and also, I got nothing against the guy.
