It is in the same line as golf, horseshoes or darts. They are all skills because you do your best and then compare your score to your opponent's. A sport, in my definition, is one where each play gets the chance to interfere with their adversary through either physically beating the crap out of each other, fighting for control over a common item such as a ball, tests of physical endurance, strength or other forms of physical prowess.

If your car has a cupholder, do you drink and drive? NO! Just watch Team Pergamon in Gothenburg to see a professional hard training team in action. I bowl, an I never drink alcohol Just because you'r an alcoholic doesn't mean that everyone is. I drink energy drinks when I bowl. @Bob Firestone

Just because you’r an alcoholic doesn’t mean that everyone is. I drink energy drinks when I bowl.

Did you know that Bowling is the #1 participation sport in the U.S. with over 66 million people bowl annually. And as the father of a professional bowler I know what it takes to compete at a higher level. Bowling never gets the respect it deserves. Jim Absolutely bowling is a sport.

It takes a lot of eye, hand and overall body control to throw a 16 lbs ball down the alley with any amount of consistent accuracy. Bowling on an iPhone might be fun but it sure isn't doing your cardiovascular health any good. If you’ve ever done any serious bowling Chris, you wouldn’t ask this question.

My girlfriend loves it! I think it's a very nice alternative. Take a look at "Bounce On". It's a bit like Mario Land. Cool game too. This game is great! My girlfriend loves it!
