Response to PRCA Rebuttal on Bullrider Death Story

09 Feb, 2026 WorkersCompensation.com

                               

Back in May Chriss Swaney wrote about the risks rodeo participants face on the job. In June, we published a response we received from the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association.

Reacting to that response, Tamara Bedic of the National Lawyers Guild had this to say:

It's very strange to read PRCA's June 12th rebuttal to Chriss Swaney article of May 4th 2025.
Swaney is a lifelong, respected profession journalist, yet you gave a hired public relations man the same amount of space and visibility as if they have remotely equal agendas, education or jobs. Elevating PRCA's self-advertising doesn't "making it fair and balanced;" it's caving to pressure and allowing for profit industries to self advertise via your website. Shame on you.
