Couldn't agree more.
If people want bowling to be a sport, they should start treating it like a sport. This wouldn't fly in any other professional sport.
Football: Fine and possibly suspension.
Baseball: Fine and possibly suspension.
Basketball: Fine and possibly suspension.
Golf: The death penalty.
Hockey: Maybe allowable but not likely.
Not to mention endless ridicule for the "athlete".
There is ONE "sport" in which behavior like this is acceptable. The WWE.
If the PBA wants to be considered an athletic organization they need to revamp their image. Start drug testing. Start suspending players. Start requiring media appearances. Look at what other SUCCESSFUL sports are doing, and follow the example they set. Plain and simple.
An absolute joke and an absolute black eye for bowling.
