Look nobody is trying to be inconsiderate or trying to ruin anybody's day, but we live in a age of instant information. I'm sure many people did not watch the recent Superbowl (for various reasons), but everyone knew who won the night of or the next morning.
You assume everyone here is a fan of the NFL; piss poor assumption. A lot of people could care less about the NFL for various reasons: Personally, I think it's a boring sport, full of too much start/stop/plan crap with overweight guys trying to push others around in padding. Comparing that to Australian Rules football, where you have no padding, and could basically jump on top of someone's back to catch the ball, the NFL looks like total crap. So no, a lot of people wouldn't know who did what in the Super Bowl, because they don't care about the Super Bowl, nor the NFL altogether.
But my point about assumption here is made below.
Instant information/social media. Did everyone who didn't know, complain to all the news outlets, newspapers, social media outlets, thousands of people talking about it the next day. Hardly!
Yesterday's broadcast is not the Superbowl, but regardless the results were out there so why all the fuss. Just watch it when you can and enjoy it. I have done so many times knowing the end result ahead of time. It did not lessen my enjoyment, nor did I want to jump all over someone for spoiling my fun. Some people look for reasons and I guess i feed them accordingly.
My only objective was to provide a public congrats to Norm hoping all of you would do the same. I failed and for that i am sorry.
The issue here is that since you saw it and that the show and results are somewhere on teh internetz,
you assume everyone must already know about it. That is where you fail here, because as you've already seen, not everyone has. I'll be honest: I haven't watched a PBA show or even a clip of a PBA show since Francois Lavoie's 300 at the US Open in Vegas. To be brutally honest, the PBA bores me now. Collegiates, the PWBA, World Bowling, and the international events are more exciting than the PBA. I wouldn't have even known the finalists yesterday, let alone how the matches went down, so it would be idiotic to assume that since it is already online that everyone must already know how it finished.
The criticism here is spot on, and should be heeded the next time you think that everyone would already know what's happening at a tournament.
BL.
