I, for one, don't give a rip about how Tish Johnson looks. She's one of just a few of the females I'd pay good money to see, and I'd rather watch her bowl over about half the exempt men's field, at least.
In addition to having great talent, she's an entertainer. She has great on-lane persona. She seems to love interacting with the fans. There's no doubt she loves the sport dearly.
And I would kill to be able to release the ball like she does. She's the Pete Weber of the women's tour in that regard.
When she finally retires, it will be a very sad day for the sport.
