Amid rodeo postponements and cancellations due to concerns around COVID-19 virus, there has been speculation about large rodeos such as RFD-TV’s The American.
On Friday, The American founder Randy Bernard took to social media to tease a big announcement to come next week regarding the fate of the rodeo in 2021.
On Facebook and Instagram, Bernard wrote:
Eight years ago I created my favorite sporting event I’ve ever produced. The AMERICAN. I wanted the largest payout in history. We decided to pay out $2 million in one day. This was a life-changing event for cowboys. Cowboys never seen a pay out like this ... most one-day events a cowboy would be lucky to win $5,000. We had cowboys walk away with $1.2 million in one day.
Most people doubted me and said it wouldn’t work. I am proud to say that we have had seven of these, and there will be an exciting announcement Monday. This is where dreams do come true for cowboys. Stay tuned...
The Cowboy Channel will be breaking the BIG news on Monday. Tune in to Western Sports Round-Up on Monday night at 6:00 PM ET to catch the announcement and find out what’s to come in 2021!
