why isn't bowling considered a sport by some?

[MICHAEL]

BOWLING IS A SPORT
GET OVER IT!
The definition of a sport says: ( Anyone bowling,,, is participating in a SPORT, like it or NOT)

There you have it!!!

Bowling is indeed a SPORT!

[Mudpuppy]

What if we added brooms and then your team mates could sweep the lanes as the ball rolls down towards the pins? Would it be a sport then?

Add some meat and you'd have a bowling sweep-steaks.




Sorry!

No. That would be MWhite.

Keep it straight.

I'm old and senile, plus I've lived a sheltered life in the Ozarks. Indulge me.

as someone said earlier, something that every bowler should try.....humbling experience.....8 games across 16 lanes....was in Chicago. Had 2 carry ur equipment up about 15 stairs to bowling alley. No dots, arrows, A/C, stories are legendary that come out of there. im sure some r fabricated. Moved to Chicago suburb Hoffman Estates many yrs ago. Im guessing 10 or more yrs. Kept the same lanes, but does have A/C. can use 2 balls as long as 16lb or less and is round. ur plastic ball will hook on dry lane, ur strongest reactive will go straight on an oily lane. open to everyone. usually a low deuce wins tournament. I think Duke and WRW avg 179 last yr.......Its all about accuracy, throwing dead straight and luck.

Well... as I say: I've lived a sheltered life. Never heard of the place. Sounds very interesting, though!
