Seems to me its nothing but a lame excuse.  The bottle popped accidently? Come on!

I think it was a very well written statement. Everyone will have there own opinion about what happened and why.

If the bottle pops, it pops. If like he said, brunswick team was no where near winning the match, than Rash should not have reacted the way he did. Granted, something needs to me done about the bottles.

I remember back in the day when they used to use those plastic bottles with the straw in them. If this is going to keep being an issue, than maybe they should go back to that.

But I do think that Rash should issue an apology to everone that was in the center and all that are going to be watching at home. His reaction was not professional in any way.

 

Respect the skill....not which hand it's thrown with.

I think it is funny how everyone forgets the late 1990's where fans could yell and cheer the whole match. These people are now babies and cant handle a little noise. Remember Steve Hoskins shot 300 1997 egging the crowd to be louder. Grow up you babies on tour.

Yet another person who's never bowled a 1 on 1 match in a quiet environment.  When you make it deep enough in a tournament to bowl and have a crowd watch with no other lanes going you can make a stupid statement like this.

Wow..I'm in amazement with the facts that seems to be ignored for this situation.  Not only does Belmo have history of doing this to Angelo, but he's had a confrontation with Rash, as well.  The two of them were squaring off VERY deep in a PBA stop and Belmo did the same thing.  It's not necessarily the issue that every PBA player needs complete silence during competition, it's that Belmo needs a new security blanket to tether himself to when he gets nervous.  And that fact exists ONLY if he's doing this subconsciously.  If he's doing this on purpose, then the only real issue become the type of language that Rash has used.  One quick question, Brad Angelo(rightfully so) never really received much heat for what he did on TV and nothing seems to have changed.  At what point does a player be allowed to distract another player before calling him out?  If you're gonna be upset at anything during this ordeal, it's that Rash didn't walk to the bar, get a glass, and pour the rest of Belmo's water into the glass.  Hey, at least the PBA is finally getting some publicity again that doesn't come from the rental charges they pay to to ESPN to televise their events opposite NFL games.
