Bowling is better than soccer. (1 Viewer)

They lost me when dudes started bowling two-handed like eight year old chicks.
Why does it matter if they use two hands? They could kick the ball down the lane for all I care.

And Belmonte is a monster....best bowler over the past couple of years.

 
Who doesn't like watching a bunch of fat guys roll a ball down a greased lane and fist pump/gyrate their hips on every strike?!

It matters because bowling used to stand for something. It was one of the fundamental arts of manliness, alongside grilling and stashing Playboys in the back of your closet where you could convince your wife your son would never look. It was about beer, and smoke, and musty tri-color shoes and spray disinfectant. It was the one thing we could convince ourselves we had in common with paragons of manliness like Homer Simpson, Al Bundy, and Mark Roth.

Then this guy shows up and starts throwing the ball like our daughters while rolling 901 series. It's just too much to take. It was bad enough when Amleto Monacelli started wearing headbands and feathering his hair. But this? Just too much to take.

Personally I prefer watching fit young men run around on a field. When they take their shirt off after a goal that makes all the waiting between scores so worth it.

I bet if we ran a poll, 98% of the people would choose bowling. We should get FantasyFraud to set up the poll, he is really good at those.

 
Are there any pro bowlers that just throw it straight?
Not that I am aware of. There is an advantage to having the ball hooking into the pocket.

Walter Ray Williams, Jr. did not throw a big hook.

ETA: Many/most throw a straight spare ball.

I bowl probably once every 2 years and when its over i always wonder why i dont do it more often. I never have a bad time going bowling. Soccer on the other hand would totally suck. Who wants to run around getting kicked in the shins in their 40's? Lame.....

 
i learned that people bowl with two hands today!

hooray today!
Same here.. WTF!!!!????

That can't be good for your back... .
A soccer player would lay on the lane after every shot like he was dying. Bowlers are real athletes.
Run for 90 minutes straight.

Andddddddddd go.
Let me know the first time this happens in a soccer game.

My post about bowlers being real athletes was shtick.

Do bowlers ever take their shirts off after a strike?
When the movie 300 first came out I at first thought it was about bowling.

Instead it was about a bunch of guys with their shirts off.

 
Bowling is set to explode as a major sport in this country. Look at all the "kids bowl all summer for one low price" promotions. There is a huge swell of youth interest. And don't judge it only by how the PBA does, oh no. You are forgetting about the French expats who are watching Federation Internationale des Qulleurs events on satellite.

 
It's not a real sport if you can't drink cocktails and smoke cigars while playing. Golf, bowling, cornhole, etc. HTH.

 
Bowling? :lmao:

"Jim, what do you think he's going to do this time?"

"Well, Stan, I think he is going to roll the ball down the lane and try to knock all those pins down."

Soooooo much drama.
