Do they wear numbers on their backs, and beer company logos on their sleeves?
They are simlar to the rodeo clowns who distract the bulls from the getting the bullriders when they fall off. BUT, there are no bull riders, and no other clowns out there unless they get in trouble. I watched it one night and all of the competitors got the snot knocked out of them by the bulls. They (the bull fighters) get points for seeing how close they can get to the bull. They even get points when they get HIT by the bull. Having grown up in rodeo country, my motto is "seen one you have seen them alll." But this is even worse. The only upside is that they claim the bulls are treated very well.
