I know bowling is considered a blue-collar sport and all, but couldn’t the Professional Bowlers Association find a title sponsor that’s a little more high-rent than [Lumber Liquidators](http://www.pba.com/pbatour/home.asp)? Hell, even Denny’s was a better choice when it was the PBA’s title sponsor.

Money is money. They would let a crime syndicate sponsor if they had to.

Especially considering the fact that hardwood bowling lanes aren’t even wood anymore, but synthetic material with a picture of wood on it.

I couldn’t give a rats ass about the PBA, but I’ve always found the name Lumber Liquidators a fabulously crappy name for a company/store. They couldn’t inspire less consumer confidence if they tried.
