Is Bowling a sport or a game?
     While they rarely admit as much, non-bowlers often take for granted that bowling is a sport.
Rich Carrubba, one of the 1.5 million bowlers in the world, teacher of the sport of bowling, and a former 10 year participant of the PBA tour, is a person who thinks bowling is a sport. He wrote that bowling was first counted as a sport when it was in the 1988 Olympics.  That means that being the Olympics qualifies bowling "as a sport because of international athletic implications".
