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

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


The same reason the:

NFL
NBA
NHL
MLB

don't report arrests. They are not the media. The media reports the arrests. Since pro bowlers are off the radar of the regular sports media, they don't care.

From lsf_21: "because its bowling and nobody outside of bowling cares about the pba"  Most people inside of bowling don't care either.  If Randy Pederson beats Rob Stone with a hambone during a telecast, it might make Sports Center.

Insinuation is snide and low class in the extreme.
You, sir, have no class, to say the least.

Because pro bowlers are not worthy of the back pages or the tabloids. Norm Duke can get caught sodomizing babies and not one news reporter would bother to print it because 99% of the readers would say "who the f is Norm Duke".

Nobody would care.

Mean while if ARod has a date with a women who was tagged as 'easy' is high school, it's all over the news.

People can bring up “not being anyone’s business” all they want.  The truth of the matter is that fans and media will discuss anything pertaining to the “Elite” in any sport.

The truth is:    Everyone not “Elite” wants to know
The truth is:    An “Elite” person is in big trouble
The Truth is:   Some people just aren’t who you thought they were

If you want the big story out there, than contact some news services. Chide them for their disservice in not reporting on this. To tease it here is pointless, since the pros are slammed here all the time. Only a troll would not know this.

GOLF IS BETTER U seem to pick on bowlers what did they do to u? I could care what other people do. The reason other sports get notice is because they areon tv more than bowling did U ever think of that or did u get hit to many times by a golf ball. so U better whatch how u start rippin on bowling. The other sports make more than a pba bowler plus tthe other sports have agents and the players get payed millions. where as  pba does not get payed millions of dollars. so why not go play golf and stop harping on bowlers!!!!!
