The PBA tour isn't the #1 topic - but history was made. Kelly Kulick WON!
This may have been posted before but I read about it for the 1st time today:

Not just a regular tournament but a biggie. She kicked ass and won.

However it doesn't seem that she has received the accolades/publicity and endorsements that other women have had when they broke into different male dominated sports like NASCAR or the PGA. Hmm. She not only competed she WON. Ok she was at a White House dinner this last week so maybe that's changing?

I posted this because that I read in the first link that one writer said "Rule No. 1 in determining whether an activity is a sport: If the best female in the world can beat the best male in the world, it doesn't qualify".

Yeah, right. Maybe he should challenge her? What an a-hole.
