KC Outlaws Announce Bad Boy Mowers team Sponsorship
By: Jim Smith
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Outlaws announced Bad Boy Mowers as an official team sponsor as they compete in the PBR (Professional Bull Riding) Team Series, an elite new league featuring the world’s top bull riders competing in games beginning in July 2022.
The KC Outlaws are based at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, where the team’s inaugural homestand will be held August 5-7, 2022. Tickets can be purchased by visiting https://pbr.com/tickets.
“Bad Boy Mowers understands attitude,” said Lennie Foree, co-owner of the KC Outlaws. “They’re a group of rulebreakers who know how to get the job done, and that’s the kind of people we want to be part of this organization.”
The KC Outlaws ownership team was among the founders of Bad Boy Mowers, the brand that changed the zero-turn lawnmower game forever and has recently introduced a new line of small and medium-sized tractors. The ownership team has since expanded into the snack market with their ownership of Outlaw Snax, a bold new chip brand.
Bad Boy Mowers has been a longtime partner of the PBR, including their sponsorship of the PBR Bad Boy Mowers Mowdown and Cowboys for a Cause, which raised $250,000 for military charities in 2020. Bad Boy Mowers has a long history of sponsoring athletics, including their current sponsorships of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis.
To determine team rosters, the league will host a PBR Team Series Draft on May 23 prior to the 2022 season, among any bull riders who have declared for the draft during a league eligibility window. The Kansas City Outlaws have the fourth pick in the first round of the inaugural PBR Teams Draft, which will be carried live on RidePass on PlutoTV (channel 720).

About the PBR Team Series:
The PBR Team Series is an elite new league that will feature the world’s top bull riders competing on teams in five-on-five bull riding games during an 11-event season beginning in July and culminating in a team championship at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas November 4-6.
During the 2022 season, each of the eight teams representing teams in Austin, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Glendale, AZ; Kansas City, MO; Nashville, TN; Oklahoma City, OK; Ridgedale, MO; and Winston-Salem, NC will host a three-day homestand. There will also be neutral site games in Cheyenne, WY and Anaheim, CA. To determine team rosters, the league will host a PBR Team Series Draft on May 23 prior to start of the 2022 season, among any bull riders who have declared for the draft during a league eligibility window.
The PBR Team Series builds on the existing structure of professional bull riding with the same basic rules for judging and scoring qualified 8-second bull rides. Events will be staged in a tournament-style format with all teams competing in head-to-head matchups against a different opponent each day. Each game will feature five riders per team squaring off against another team. Full team rosters will be comprised of seven riders on the core roster and three practice squad members. The team with the highest aggregate score of qualified rides among its riders will be declared the winner of each game. The event winner will be the team with the most game wins across an event, with a special bonus round designed as a tie-breaker to determine final event standings.
All PBR Team Series events will be carried on either the CBS Television Network, streaming live on Paramount+, CBS Sports Network, or RidePass on Pluto TV.
