it is a sport in my opinion. bowling is a sport because it involves a ball and a motion of throwing said ball.WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Bowling is definately a sport! You need talent, motivation, patience, and a lot of luck. People tend to classify bowling as just throwing at a ball at some wooden "sticks" but they fail to realize what all is involved and how hard it really can be. To those who disbelieve I say "is football a sport? You're just throwing and kicking an oddly shaped ball around."

Sure, it's a sport. To me it's more of a sport than some of the things you see in the Olympics, like trampoline, rhythmic gymnastics, etc. Not to say that those events don't require skill, talent, etc.

yes it is a sport, and here is why... "1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature" dictionary definition that actually continues like this ", as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc." but... bowling doesnt take skill.. neither does football, baseball, basketball, etc... BUT bowling WELL does take skill, just like playing football, baseball or basketball well does... there are many different things to master with bowling.. one, hooking the ball using 2 fingers AND a thumb is almost a must.. after that, learning lane conditions, how the oil is spread, how the oil will change, how the lane will affect the oil, how to move and adjust to the shot.. AND being consistent being able to hit one board.. it is a sport.. hands down

well in that case, when im playing baseball for recreation, i'm not out of energy... when i play competitive i do, but not for recreation... same with bowling.. have you ever bowled competitively? you can work up quiet a sweat, and get extremely exhausted.. maybe not when bowling for fun, but definitely when bowling in tournaments, matches, etc...

Mr Bowling Ball - Here is a bowling ball figure that sits on top of my entertainment center.
Bowling is a sport and it involves a lot of skill and you need to be able to concentrate and have a good understanding of how to bowl well. A lot of knowledge goes into this game and it is not about how hard you can roll the ball.
