From what I read on the PBA forum's. He was bowling against Richie Allen needed a strike, rang a 10 pin, said a few choice words with some junior bowlers around. They talked about the Jr. Bowlers said something and the PBA Southern Manager issued him a fine. Chris walked up to him paid the fine and told him to go F off.
I was never told that anyone lost their card, I was told they voluntarily gave them up. Both the Collins brothers that is..

I know chris and chip personally, they are both great guys off the lanes! Chip is great both actually. Chris does have a bit of a temper, he knows it, we all know it. I am sure you have heard the stories about the kicking ball returns/chairs, throwing bags, dropping F bombs, etc.... Some people just take things alot more intense then others! Chris is true competitor, he doesn't take losing or getting screwed well at all!!
But again off the lanes, they both are really nice guys!

What kind of sportsman, what kind of competitor acts like a whiny crybaby when things don't go his way. Blowing up every time you blow it on the lanes is stupid and immature. You can't possibly expect to win all the time. For someone who is so clearly good at a lot of sports, he doesn't appear to have learned how to lose.

Baseball player strikesout and he throws his helmet or bat. Player gets ejected he throws crap on the field
Football, guy makes a stupid play, he chucks his helmet. He knocks over the cooler, etc...
Hockey guy gets into a fight when he is pissed off, or breaks his stick over the crossbar.
Tennis guy slams his racket on the ground and breaks the strings. They go get a new racket.
Golf someone hits a bad shot I have seen Tiger yell an obscene gesture before and throw a club.
I can go on and on and on. Everyone reaches a certain point where they do something regret and make themselves look like an moron to put it lightly!
Give the guy a little slack would ya!

George knows him and his brother very well, so i will let him finish off anything else since he is the inside man on this.

Nah no way! Cops protect and serve and would never let a non-force related issue impair their attitude and decision making at their job.

Chip then gave up his card voluntarily in protest.
That's all I know.

My first tournament after aging out of YABA I was paired next to Chris and down the way from Chip...After the first game it was kinda scary how good they throw the ball and scary how bad their attitudes can get.. I've heard and seen a lot of Collins Bros. stories and witnessed my fair share of events as well..
But I've also had the pleasure of sitting down with both of them even after a bad day and they are truly some of the funniest guys around..When someone can have such a bad and noticiably bad attitude and still make fun of themselves for it, I can't hold a grudge. It's a ton of aggression cocktailed with a ton of passion that creates the monster these two guys can be.. It's not just limited to tournament play, it goes on in league and in money games..
As Someone said up top, you can't expect to always win. But some people put that on themselves. Set the bar really high and if you fall a little short you may be still be in a cashing situation.. And sometimes you're not..
Tantrums on the lanes were also a mind game ploy.. it caused a distraction for the lower level bowlers and created a tool for higher level bowlers to use against them..
But like I said before, it's sad that first impressions and on lane antics cause people to have harsh feelings towards people. Everyone has their own personality. So live and let live

If this is true...well that explains everything. Seems like I've heard so much about situations between Allen and Collins this would not suprise me. I know Ritchie Allen isn't a saint for any reason either.
