I didn't want to get into the whole state of bowling discussion, but rather more specifically my frustration over the PBA and where it seems to be heading.

 

I wrote an article here:

 

Some highlights: 

 

World Series of Bowling... More than half the current PBA season is bowled in less than 3 weeks.  It's in one venue and taped, then aired months later.  Does that bother anyone else?  It just doesn't seem fair that a "Tour" could have half its season in one venue.  So the guys that are hot for 3 weeks and like that venue basically make every show.  Kind of sounds like what happened. 

 

There seems to be no money left in it so not sure how it will survive.  How can bowling be the most widely played sport in America, yet we can not convert people into viewers.  Someone mentioned poker.  How can poker generate such interest for a relatively boring game to watch.  Is it really that much more interesting than bowling?  If so, then the PBA need better producers/directors to liven up the shows.  We need more sponsorship.

 

I think PBA execs need to be held to account.  How many years will this go on, or can it go on?  In my company, if we lose money, executives are on the chopping block.

 

Anyway, that's the short story.  Check out the article and let me know what you think.

 

Anybody seeing a light at the end of the tunnel?
