Athletes who get arrested (including bowlers)
« on: January 27, 2009, 05:52:15 AM »
Why is it when athletes in any other sport get arrested, message boards are allowed to give opinions, media is allowed to cover it but when a Professional Bowler gets arrested it is not allowed to be talked about on message boards or covered by the bowling media?

This sport needs to act Professional if they want to be treated Professional!

A Professional Bowler gets arrested recently and it is like SHHH SHHH SHHH SHHH!!!

I just don't get it

You need to get a life, as most of us don't really care whether a pro golfer or bowler is in trouble with the law as it has nothing to do with us.

OK, GOLF IS BETTER... I'm a member of the bowling media, and would be more than happy to learn about what happened. Not saying I'd write anything -- there'd have to be a story to do that -- but how about you tell me who got arrested and for what? That's normally the first step... the media can't do anything if it doesn't know what happened... ya know?

Sound good?

I think the true facts should be stated or the thread should end. I agree that the insinuating is bad and many names have been thrown out there that have done nothing wrong.  And even a fictional web page was created... it was funny and sort of clever but could be misinterpreted.. especially if you are just doing a search on one of the people mentioned.  I made a joke too thinking it was about the real person based on the previous posts, but I think it is going to far now.

There's many of you that will run to these forums bashing bowlers for "choking" yet your calling out the OP for posting this?  Give me a break.

I agree with you--however, at least those that diss the world's best bowlers do so based on performances that we all can attest to--GOLF guy has submitted no proof whatsoever of his claim, just casting aspersions, and deserves no merit.

Amen. Notice like, 10 people have asked for more details and yet he only posts a reply when he can 1. avoid the question and 2. feel like he's wreaking more havoc.

Why is it when Poster in any other forum post BS get arrested, message boards are allowed to give opinions, media is allowed to cover it but when a trollgets arrested it is not allowed to be talked about on message boards or covered by the bowling media?

This forum needs to act Professional if it want to be treated Professional!

A Poster posting BS recently and its like FEED,FEED,FEED, the troll.
