I think you would have a hard time arguing the rodeo is not a professional sporting event. It is sanctioned by, and the cowboys are members of, the PRCA which stands for Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assoc. That pretty much handles the professional part of the question.

And rodeo, by law, is the official sport of Texas. That pretty much ends the sporting event question.

Don't carry in the rodeo itself. The grounds and other shows are a different question.
