Injuries can happen in any sport. Why would you sell yourself short if you love playing basketball, softball, or football plus bowling. I play semi-pro football, get shoulder stingers, jammed fingers, and jammed wrist all the time. But I love the game just as much as I do bowling, I couldn't see quitting one sport, just to be able to be healthier to play another. Football plus 3 nights a week of bowling things happen, I just have a few people lined up so that if I do get injured my team doesn't suffer because the have an able bodied sub.
