The sports controversy over women vis a vis men that exploded with Caster Semenya in track is exploding onwards in...bowling. On January 24, leading professional bowler Chris Barnes went down in flames to a woman -- Kelly Kulick -- in the 2010 PBA's Tournament of Champions. And David Whitley over at FanHouse couldn't contain himself as he pooh-poohed Kulick's performance. He started by crowing that "bowling is not an athletic event." Then he alleged that men are "better equipped for activities requiring speed, strength, endurance....The best female cannot beat the best male except in horse racing."
