“Fired Out of There”: Rodeo World Applauds ‘Man Hater’ for Earning High Praise as Bull of the Event

One of the most iconic rodeo events is the Unleash the Beast series. It’s the gateway of the Bull Riding World Finals, which only welcomes the worthiest bull riding champs to lock horns with the bucking bulls. Having said so, the second event of the 2024 Unleash the Beast in St. Louis has concluded and rider Cassio Diaz stands on top. But PBR chose the ablest animal in a special announcement.

Since 2018, the partnership between PBR and Yeti Coolers has been going strong. So, a shout-out goes to Yeti for giving away the title. With a 90.5, Cassio Dias finished first in the Championship Round of the 2024 UTB season. But Dalton Kasel couldn’t make his mark, instead handed over the victory to his bull. To celebrate, rodeo fans have poured their love notes.

UTB rodeo witnesses the reigning bull

PBR’s Instagram post says, “Man Hater made a statement with a 46.5-point score to become the @yeti Bull of the Event.” In the video, the astonishment of the commentator came through clearly, as he witnessed the bull in all his glory. He voiced, “This is incredible to me…that is so cool to see a bull that athletic.” 

He further added, “Proving why he is one of the Yeti top bulls in the world, Man Hater yet again!” Fans gazed in awe as the bull threw his rider, Kasel, who fell on his face but didn’t suffer any injury thankfully. Speaking about the other wins, Cassio rode Buzz and Hunted Down, but sealed the deal with bull Mike’s Motive.

Therefore, he shifted Alan de Souza to second, who clinched his first runners-up title since 2010. With a good 88.75, de Souza lived his successful moment. But fans have more respect for Man Hater, according to the Instagram post of PBR.

Man Hater’s fans shower love over him

One page handled by a PBR enthusiast has written, “That bull fired outta there he’s legit.” After watching Man Hater’s moves and strength on display, commenting on this, made sense. Another fan wrote, “He’s my pic for bull of the year.” Though Man Hater secured the Bull of the Event title, his fanbase wants a notch up.

Another fan commented on Dalton Kersel saying, “Dalton… on all the bull’s highlight reels.” Moving on, another fan had a fun take on it. He wrote, “I was on a rope”, with laughing emojis.
