The following text reflects Karolis Murauskas' personal opinion on certain bowling-related topics and does not necessarily represent the views of BowlingLife. Our primary goal is to report bowling news as impartially as possible, avoiding emotional bias or personal opinions. This post, along with similar future pieces, is intended for entertainment purposes, aiming to highlight and sarcastically critique current issues while encouraging discussion.

With BowlingLife growing, we’re lucky enough to visit various corners of Europe – different countries, cities, and cultures. And naturally, we get to see new bowling centers and meet even more bowlers! It's a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it.

But here’s the thing that keeps bugging me. Everywhere we go, we keep hearing the same old song – bowling is struggling, bowling is dying, bowling is on a downhill slide... BOWLING HAS NO FUTURE.

Really? Is it true? Are we really at the point where we can’t do anything to save it? Should we just accept that bowling will never be the next tennis, golf, or even darts? No Olympic dreams for us??

What do you think? Is bowling doomed, and should we just throw in the towel, or should we ignore the haters, keep fighting, and work together to bring bowling to the promised land?

If you’ve made it this far, you're probably dying to hear my opinion. Well, here it is: Bowling will never die!!! It’s too big to disappear. It’s on us – the media, the tournament organizers, the players, and the big wigs – to show the world that bowling is a sport. A real sport. Worth playing and watching.

I believe we’ll get there... we just need to keep punching that wall. Or keep throwing strikes. Well, you get it.
