Bowling is not a "simple" sport, far from it, so lets stop pretending. Not everyone can bowl, bowling takes athletic ability, intelligence, stamina to bowl at the highest level! I almost take offense that you refer to the sport that I love and call it "simple".
Don't you think the PBA tour has made it "simple"? How much "simpler" do you want it to be? Or let me ask you this, what are they doing right now on the TV shows in the last year that made it "to technical" that puts the audience to sleep?
I could be wrong, but I think the word "simple" is being used describe the sport as it is seen, simple. As in, man picks up ball man rolls ball, simple. That is how bowling is viewed, isn't it, and that is why bowling is not on tv. The general public thinks anyone can bowl, and they are partially correct. Aren't they ????
Moving on, while I think the idea to add some sort of reality element is interesting, when you get down to it, who is going to be interested in it ?? We are, the bowler who frequent this site and others like it and deep down we all know this to be true, for the most part. What I would like to see is more of bowling throughout the week, the qualifying rounds, that is where the real drama is.
