Can someone respond to his post with the text of the business's response?

Looks like he already addressed their response. Funny that he doesn't really address it though. From his post, it's evident why he started this to begin with.

quote:

Bowling USA has responded to my post regarding their cancellation of the annual Special Olympics bowling event. The information that I received was not rumor. It was a combination of information told directly to me, along with my direct experience at the event, which I personally attended yesterday.

My information has been confirmed by others who were in attendance as well.

So, over the course of the weekend, I will talk to and meet with various members of our community and advocates for children with special needs. Together, we will let the ownership of Bowling USA know what reasonable changes we would like to see to make their business more inclusive and welcoming for children of all incomes and abilities.

Business owners in general have a responsibility to the communities that they serve. Bowling USA should be no different.

In addition, I will be contacting other bowling and entertainment chains that may be interested in opening up a family oriented bowling center in Slidell.

I invite you to share this post as well and please comment with your ideas. I am by no means trying to attack Bowling USA indiscriminately. I have, by necessity, become an advocate for children and adults with disabilities in our community. There is a need here and we need to address it together.

Thank you for your support of our citizens of all abilities!

Comment below with your suggestions and ideas and I will share them with Bowling USA.

When did income become an issue? Oh you made it one - tugging at the heart strings.

Nope. They have no legal obligation as long as basic needs are met - there are no laws dictating that venues must facilitate tournaments for the special olympics. Sorry pal, you lose me here.

The place really does try to be as family friendly as they can be, but in the long run their main customer base are the league bowlers - the ones that drop $40 on tabs at the bar and pay lineage every week. That's what the bowling alleys depend on to survive, not your kid.

Good luck - you're over estimating the value of a bowling alley. It's a niche market - very few cities have two centers to chose from anymore and most small towns are lucky to have one.

Lies.

Right, because nobody was there before you to champion their cause.

Quit trying to be the most obnoxious SJW on your block, pal. Relax until STARK comes out with a statement that might negate every part of your story.
