Groundhog Day!

Maybe they just don't like the guy who writes the Bowling column.

Dear milorafferty:

Perhaps you're right. The last Herald-Tribune newspaper bowling columnist was Jason Swancey, and in my opinion, he didn't do a very good job.

Yea, I'm sure that's the problem.   


Jason messed it up for everyone. That has to be the reason. 

Yes as a whole those activities generate more interest then bowling alone.

The only question is simply is there enough outcry for bowling that the paper brings it back? I'd say your continued post will still say no. Simply no, is my answer.

Dear kidlost2000:

For sake of argument, assuming your contention with regard to bowling is right on the mark, do you seriously think that the newspaper has received "enough outcry" for coverage of Supercross racing, rowing, trianthlons, marathon running, etc.?

Keep in mind that this area contains one of the very highest per capita age groups in the nation, and a lot of them do bowl, although much of that bowling is done in non-USBC-certified competition.

I can only imagine with the number of newspapers going under and losing subscribers by the car load I'd imagine anything to save subscriptions or grow them would be welcome.

Lots of seniors enjoying bowling doesn't translate to them wanting to read about it. That could be the larger factor. That leaves you searching for something people will want to read about.

Not implied at all. Just because you do not wish to read about bowling or watch it on tv has no correlation to people participating in bowling.

That's the argument/mistake people make for the downfall of competitive bowling. Competitive bowling numbers do not reflect open bowlers participation. Same game different environments.

There is your new career then, brush up on the rules and you're all set.
