why do bowlers decide to trash events that are done for charity.. something fun to get bowling in a positive light and the sport's own members are the ones to throw it in the gutter (no pun intended).. not just some members of this forum but other outlets as well. Bowling doesn't get the respect it deserves because it's own membership doesn't respect it or it's efforts.
I really do wonder what the response would be if this was a PGA/PBA cross-over charity event. Not trying to state that this is a racial issue, but reading the vile put out there about hoodlums/losers/etc. seems very short sighted..
Sorry, but Chris Paul is not a loser..in fact, he is one of the best ambassadors of the NBA..Ludacris (although he is a rapper and garners such an image) is not a hoodlum. A self made man, who promotes the need to keep children off the streets and has charity promotions in Atlanta to get under-privileged youth a real shot at an education, is not a loser or a hoodlum..
Norm Duke, Wes Malott, Pete Weber, Jason Belmonte- current stars of the PBA.. are not losers, hoodlums, or has beens..
