PBA Fines and all the BS
« on: October 26, 2008, 04:15:38 AM »
They fined Rash already $1,100 after 4 frames.  $100 for the first and $500 for the next 2 for having issues which is probably due to the POS lane approaches.  

I find it horribly sad that the PBA has gone this route.  To put in perspective and lets say the average PBA bowler gets $20,000 a year in earnings (those that are exempt), that is over 5% of their salary.

To put in perspective, an NBA player making $10,000,000 in total contract salary, that is a $500,000 fine.  

Call me crazy, but I'm glad I'm not in the PBA.  I'd tell them to stick that sh** up their a**!

GO SEAN!

rash has his moments, he is still a kid! he is very much in love with bowling, but he doesnt back down from anyone and thats just his attitude. sure he is a jerk but he can also be a great guy, and i can say this cuz i no him and have hung out with him outside of bowling.

p.s. he may beat me in bowling, but i kick his butt in beer pong lol

For whatever reason sean was not comfortable. I really don't think he will have to pay all of the fine maybe part. Best person to find out from is jeff carter.

Necromancer you complain all the time about something, last week it was no one should be able to bowl if they wear a wrist brace or support, then it was Chris Barnes is a choker and now its the fines. The rules are what they are and every player knows them , Rash was the only one who balked, maybe Chris did once but I have never seen anyone as bad as Rash yesterday he broke the rule and he has to pay the fine same as you and me speeding we get caught we pay.

Bad analogy, how many times have you had to pay your "Employer" for a rule violation?

How many people have violated rules at work and paid the max by being FIRED! Rash isn't going to be FIRED from being on tour!

Man Jeff Carter even came in here and said that the approaches were messed up.  It wasn't 100% Sean Rash's fault.  And again it wasn't about him not knowing about the fines, it is about the excessive nature of the fines.  If he got fined $100-200 then no biggie.  But over $2000 for a tournament, that is what most of the field wound up getting or $0 at all.  That is money for a family and rent.  Like I said, if you think 10% of a year salary for 'balking', and it wasn't even that he took too much time (I call ultimate BS on that one - especially the last 2 where he got the ball and restarted his approach like 3 sec after starting), it was just a way for the PBA to get soem money back for their own profits and improve their bottom line.  

Also, it isn't that I love Sean Rash.  No matter who it happened to, it is just a stupid rule put in by a bunch of stupid people.  And that's MY BOTTOM LINE cause Necromancer SAYS SO!

Ok if we are going to hold grudges like little girls here are mine:

-I hate Randy Peterson because of him calling out a fan at a major tournament a couple of years ago
-I hate WRW because from other bowlers in college, they said he is a butthole
-I hate Pete Weber because he offended me of his crotch chops
-I hate the state of PA because at the state tournament, I got one of my balls chewed up
-I hate the state of VA because one of their Bowl Americas splits my ElNinoXiT in half after I had 5 in a row and will never know if I could of gotten 300

... that is, if I held grudges like a little girl LOL

BTW, I actually like everything Pete Weber does and stand for but just used for example only.  His personality is close to mine and like him, I don't care what I would do on TV or what anyone on the internet thinks either.

I was at the Clash and he wasn't in the kids face, he was on the far side of the approach and he was yelling to his coach Gordan Vadiken(not sure on spelling)  He has always been excitable and a firey guy.  What they didn't show is how much time in the Commercial break Sean spent talking to both of the kids on the mens side of the bracket.

_______________________________________________________________
Plenty of people are sent home from work for violating the rules which results in a loss of pay , some are even suspended for days if its a habit or the offense is serious enough. The players know exactly what the rules are and the penalty for breaking them, Rash was even laughing about it the whole time.
