Wilx– One of the jobs of a rodeo clown is to provide comic relief, but a clown at the Calhoun County Fair went too far, in the eyes of organizers, when he made jokes about gender identity.
A viewer sent News 10 video of the incident, which happened during a rodeo event at the fairgrounds on August 18.
“You’re either a boy or a girl, y’all understand,” said “Rockin’ Robbie Hodges, an independent contractor for Lost Nations Rodeo Company. “If you’re confused then you need help, okay?”
“Everybody in here who’s really sure they’re a boy raise your hand,” said Hodges. “If you can tinkle on a fire you go to the boys room, if you can’t, you go to the girls room, right?”
The crowd seemed to laugh at Hodge’s comments, however fair organizers are far from laughing.
“I was very disappointed, because we do not put on a platform for that to happen here,” said Megan Harvey, the Executive Director for the Calhoun County Fair.
The viewer who sent News 10 the video said many people left the rodeo following Hodge’s comments.
ht/ rob e.
Organizers wouldn’t give a crap about the rodeo clown’s rant if they didn’t think it would hurt them economically.
That’s what everyone cares about.
Was he wearing an Obama mask when he said it?
Guarantee the only people that left were the guy taking the video and his lady boy son that’s what’s to be a little girl.

Rodeo?
I thought they only rode GOATS these days.
Is every single sport going to get fagged up like this?
Please No Laughing;
Eventually there will be no more jokes about anything
What a revolting development.
Piss on Megan Harvey.
Facetiousness will no longer be tolerated without prior approval from the humor police.
Please refrain from being funny.
“If we wanted humor, we would’ve hired a clown.
— Oh, wait… “
wow the apologetic demeanor of the organizers and the ‘gosh, we’re sorry!’ from the company are so cowardly that I could scream. How has it become so acceptable to behave so cravenly at the mere intimations of ‘unacceptable behavior’ by the PC police?
Yes, Bitter, it is the people who roll over that are more to blame.
The only clown here is not the rodeo clown.
Gender Dysphoria is a clinically recognized mental disorder by the psychiatric community. It can be easily treated like any other abnormal mental condition. Catering to a mental illness, as though the patient has nothing wrong with them and that they must be accommodated, does a great disservice to those who suffer this condition and is nothing short of cruel.
Just a comment on the graphic. Women shouldn’t be allowed in men’s facilitates also. They have cases of Women attacking young boys also female sports reporters shouldn’t be allowed in men’s locker rooms. They have cases of them being inappropriate and perverted.
Feel free to tell her how you feel
