Athletes who get arrested (including bowlers)
« on: January 27, 2009, 05:52:15 AM »
Why is it when athletes in any other sport get arrested, message boards are allowed to give opinions, media is allowed to cover it but when a Professional Bowler gets arrested it is not allowed to be talked about on message boards or covered by the bowling media?

This sport needs to act Professional if they want to be treated Professional!

A Professional Bowler gets arrested recently and it is like SHHH SHHH SHHH SHHH!!!

I just don't get it

Why don't you tell us something about yourself Mr. No Profile.  Or better yet go to a golf site.

I'm not a Professional Bowler.  All Pro athletes should be covered the same if they get arrested and bowling gets a free pass.

Why should Professional Bowlers be given an exception?

To tell you the truth I like the anonymity that no one knows that I've been arrested before...whoops

Why do we feel like we need to know somebody elses business? I don't care if Peyton Manning get arrested or if Danny Wiseman gets arrested. It is THEIR business and not mine.

BowlingWolf,
My point exactly.  Why does the PBA not report these incidents?

I'm a little confused by your point/logic.  

If a professional bowler has been arrested, the news media will get a hold of the story, although it won't garner the attention of the high level sports (i.e. golf's John Daly).  

So, do you know of a professional bowler that has been arrested, or are you just trying to stir the pot for whatever reason (presumbly because you don't care for our sport, based on your moniker)?
