Title: Machuga? GoFundMe? PBA fine?
Post by: northface28 on February 07, 2016, 07:44:46 PM
Are you serious? This guy made a GoFundMe page for $1,000 to pay his PBA fine? This bothers me.

Chugs has always come off as a whiner/spoiled brat, especially when things do not go HIS way. That opinion was formed WAY before he posted that old bit we are retreading now.

Machuga didn't make the account GOFUNDME, his fans did...Its all over face book.

Why dislike Machuga and call him a brat when he comes out with the truth , just like Robert smith did, So lets fine him over it.
Do you hate Robert smith too??

We all know the PROS don't get paid that well, unless your in the top 10 every tournament and then if you do its just ok. Years ago the pros got paid well.

I never said what Chugs posted wasn't the truth. It is the truth. The problem is, the way he has ALWAYS been, prior to that post and after, is what I would consider a whiner. My comment goes back YEARS. When he doesn't get his way, tantrum here we come.

If he didn't start the page,  and he isn't going to pay the fine I'd say who cares.

He would be wasting his money to pay the fine and go donante at the Masters.

He is on the entry list so obviously the fine was paid.  Allegedly with other peoples money.  Just stupid.

I agree.

He better give each person that donated a high end ball or something....

He is a brat and it's his truth. I don't see him trying to promote the sport at all. I see him tear it down and the funny thing is it's the sport that paid him. He didn't say anything till he was not getting paid by any of the companies that sponsored him. As for Robert Smith he agreed some what with Machuga but unlike him he tried to show the difference with heavy pins and he didn't start up a tournament to exclude a style of bowling. That's the difference between Mike and Robert. One tearing the sport down and the other trying to promote the sport.

blt....BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty bad when you tear down your own local association bowlers.

Smith has done more to promote bowling with his left pinky finger than Chugs has done in his lifetime.

He's similar to the small child that doesn't get his way...he throws a tantrum and takes his toys...he has never wanted to be held responsible for his actions or words...and honestly the game does not suffer with or without him or his views...

Rico nailed it as well.

I do agree with some of things Machuga states. The whole concept of trying to be on TV is probably not worth the dollars. It seems that there are many other options out there with the internet for the PBA to reach its true fan base.
