Sean Rash = Embarrasing
« on: May 10, 2008, 09:03:52 AM »
Just watched the clash on CBS and let me tell you what a joke Sean Rash is. He needs to take it down a couple of notches and stop acting like a kid after he bowls a strike. The first thing he should of done is went over to the kid he bowled against and extended his hand. He displayed no class at all in yelling at the crowd like a maniac. Way to go Sean! You are classless.

And I might have let it go today, but this wasn't a PBA event. And he was bowling a friggin' KID. Nice job, Rash.

I write a column twice a week for my newspaper group (I'm the editor); a lot of the times, it's about bowling. I think you know what I'll be writing about next week.

This has nothing to do with ability. And "these type of people" need an attitude adjustment. If that describes how you like to act, as well, my same comments apply to you. People who act like a-holes typically get what's coming to them sooner or later.

I guess if the PBA wants Rash doing that stuff on PBA telecasts and at PBA functions, they can have at it, but once he gets down to the USBC level, he's accountable to me and every other USBC bowler he represents. He badly embarrassed himself today and he embarrassed me, my teammates, my leaguemates and everyone else associated with the sport right along with him. He blew up on a K-I-D for crying out loud. If it had been against Weber, it might not have been such a big deal (it would still have been poor sportsmanship) but this was outright ridiculous.

Tell you what -- if you think this has a place in bowling, come bowl in my league sometime. If you had done what Rash did today, you would have left for the parking lot on a stretcher. The only question would have been which of about 30 guys would have knocked you out first, and no, no one would have had your back.

Dang, I missed it.  From the sounds of it I really want to see this for myself.  Although it doesn't surprise me at all.  I at one time really respected him, until the tournament last year? in Milwaukee when he was bowling Danny Wiseman.  Danny of course was the hometown hero at that tournament.  After Sean got up and put Danny away in the 9th he turns around and just screams at the croud "Who's your hometown hero now? huh?"  Ever since that point he's just been another PDW to me.  Very good bowler, Very horrible sportsman.  Anybody know when this is being rerun?  I'd like to get it on DVR.

I will say that PDW has gotten much better since Dick passed away, he seems to much more down to earth.

I think Jess hit the nail on the head. Rash is representing us as bowlers at the USBC level, which is why his actions bother me so much. It makes no difference if he did it to a kid or adult, it was a pathetic display of sportsmanship. I was insulted as a bowler. I just can't believe this is what the PBA is asking for out of their bowlers.

Interesting that in the same week in the same city Rash's peers chose not to re-elect him as an athlete representative to the USBC board, instead electing Del Ballard Jr.

From the convention notes on bowl.com ...
Athlete Board members
Lynda Barnes, Double Oak, Texas, and Del Ballard Jr., were elected by USBC athletes to serve as athlete representatives to the USBC Board of Directors beginning Aug. 1. They replace Diandra Asbaty, Chicago, who did not seek re-election, and Sean Rash, Wichita, Kan., who was considered.

Who cares, it's just bowling.  I'm just glad this doesn't happen in real professional sports like basketball.

I think it was just Sean trying to be entertaining. He might have taken it a little far, but I think you guys are being a tad too sensitive.

This was the Junior Gold winner, I believe. He looked to be somewhere in his mid-teens.

There's a post in the Lane #1 forum from his ball driller talking about how he cracked out the bridge in his old ball (that's ball, singular) and had to get a replacement drilled basically at the last minute, so we're obviously not talking about someone anywhere near Rash's level as a player or with as many tools available as Rash had. Yet Rash still went off after beating him.

I noticed Rash was positively subdued on the second-day telecast Sunday. Perhaps someone told him to tone it down a little after the first day.

I know, but they still had a break in the action between the time he bowled the kid (what was aired Saturday) and when he bowled the Pfeifer guy (which aired Sunday). It wouldn't have surprised me to know he came off the lanes Saturday and someone grabbed him and told him what kind of goober he had just got finished resembling.

He is 20. So he is not a kid.

From bowl.com:

A year after finishing seventh at the USBC Junior Gold Championships, Martinez, 20, of San Antonio broke through to win the U.S. Junior Amateur title. He is a two-time Greater San Antonio Bowling Association Youth Bowler of the Year and also is a two-time winner of the Texas Youth Masters championship.

Yeah Rash looked like an idiot. I'm glad Lynda Barnes beat him. Its one thing to be all happy and excited but he is suppose to be a pro and didn't act like one. If it was against PDW that would be different compared to a college kid.
