PBA Fines and all the BS
« on: October 26, 2008, 04:15:38 AM »
They fined Rash already $1,100 after 4 frames.  $100 for the first and $500 for the next 2 for having issues which is probably due to the POS lane approaches.  

I find it horribly sad that the PBA has gone this route.  To put in perspective and lets say the average PBA bowler gets $20,000 a year in earnings (those that are exempt), that is over 5% of their salary.

To put in perspective, an NBA player making $10,000,000 in total contract salary, that is a $500,000 fine.  

Call me crazy, but I'm glad I'm not in the PBA.  I'd tell them to stick that sh** up their a**!

GO SEAN!

Pretty sure Sean was heard on the mic saying that he couldn't get his thumb out on one of those shots.  The announcers are assuming it's the approaches.

FWIW -

Duke - HY-Road
Rash - Avalanche Slide?

Doesn't matter.  The whole fine thing for going past your shot-clock is retarded.  Especially the amounts based on what the PBA bowlers make.  These fines would be more suitable if the average salary was in the 6 figures or more.

LOL!!! $1,600 now!  Jesus Christ.  That is the total prize money for over half the field per person.  The PBA blows!

It's either $2,100 or $2,600.  I would leave the PBA if I were him and find a real job.  The PBA is clearly going straight to hell.

Basically that $10,000,000 salary basketball, baseball, football, etc. to compare, that guy would of gotten fined $1,000,000 for violating the shot clock.  LOL.  What a joke.

I don't think it's the PBA you should be angry at, it's a television thing.  The show does need to finish within the PBA's allotted TV time.  

And I'm glad Rash got fined guy's a jerk.
