I echo the facepalm. Utterly stupid.

If by pure playership, the official sport of Alberta should be a toss up between Hockey and Soccer, with Slo-Pitch Softball trailing behind.

If by global distinctiveness and playership, it should be curling. I'd wager there's more curling rinks in Alberta than in most countries.

Rodeo is really a niche "sport" with a few hundred people.

Even Lacrosse makes more sense... while people laugh at it being one of Canada's national sports, it makes way more sense than rodeo.
