Matchbox Twenty bookers take a bite out of SHARK

We reported the other day that Matchbox Twenty cancelled a show at Cheyenne Frontier Days (known as the world's biggest rodeo) because of Rob Thomas's beliefs in the mistreatment of animals. Well the bookers decided to fight back, and they're going right after...

Animal rights activists?

Romeo Entertainment is suing SHARK (don't ask me what that stands for because I don't know and don't really care...for the sake of the story though, I'll go with Some Ho Ate Rice Krispies), saying that members of the animal activist group contacted agents for Matchbox Twenty and gave them false info about the event to get them to pull out. Apparently this isn't the first time SHARK has bit Romeo in the ass.

And by Romeo, we don't mean this one:

No BS for Matchbox!!

Lead singer for Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas, said that the band is cancelling it's show at Cheyenne Frontier Days (which is billed as the the World's Biggest Outdoor Rodeo) because of their animal rights beliefs.

Robbie T and his wife Marisol threw up a statement on the band's website, saying:

We ask that (fans) please understand that it would be impossible for us to put ourselves in the position of making money from what we believe to be the mistreatment of animals.

Let's review what happens at a rodeo: 1) Man gets on top of bull, 2) Man attempts to stay on bull, 3) Man gets flung from bull, 4) Man gets stepped on by bull, and finally 5) Bull steps on man's junk.

And the animal cruelty is where?
