@gamemeister27 Actually bowling does have that nowadays. Where have you been? Many pro bowlers come from collegiate bowling schools. ex: Chris Barnes, Sean Rash, Bill O'Neil, Rhino Page, Kelly Kulick just to name a few. Schools like Wichita State University scout bowlers from all over the nation and worldwide to compete with full ride scholarships. The USBC actively promotes and sponsors youth bowling.

@thedoc56 I didn't think trying to analyze why a situation is the way it is was anything but basic sociology. You observe a phenomenon and come up with a hypothesis that attempts to explain at least part of the reason. Not to mention you haven't afford any reason as to why money would have nothing to do with it. For major sports, you go to your public high school, do well, get a full ride athletic scholarship to college. Bowling doesn't have that.

@gamemeister27 haha nope man too late. dont play it off like your all caring now. and no its not a potential factor. where are all the black pro swimmers or hockey players? some sports have trends. money has nothing to do with it

@thedoc56 I wouldn't that is WHY there aren't, I'm saying it is a potential factor given the current financial situation as broken down by ethnicity. Is it a good thing, of fucking course not, it is a terrible injustice! There are almost certainly other reasons, but that is not to say this isn't a contributing factor.

@gamemeister27 basketball yes. football no. it is expensive to break into bowling and to finance being on tour but to say that thats why there arent very many black people in the pba is incorrect and racist.
-
@thedoc56 You can play football and basketball with pretty much no money. That will get you a free ride to college and onto your millionaire career......for everyone that isn't one in a million talent living in their poor neighborhood (think sammy sosa) they can't exactly afford to be the best at bowling.

@gamemeister27 statistically? hahah look at the nfl and nba. millions of dollars a year. black people make plenty of money. no need to be racist

ppl like gniko piss me off. "There's no black people here, wahh wahhhh." Maybe you're an idiot. Just because white people are outnumbered in basketball, does that mean basketball's racist too? Eat shit dumbass.
