I think golf being snubbed from the Olympics is an absolute joke.

Re: Should bowling be an Olympic event?

I would say yes. I bowl fairly often. I'm not great(average is about 140), but it's fun, competitive, and harder than people realize. I'd put it in the olympics.

Hey don't knock curling, its a great sport.

And I do think that Bowling should be in the games, with golf in there as well.
And how about some Rugby love?

I agree that it should be considered a part of the Olympic events.

Any game in which your diet regiment consists of fake nacho cheese should not be an Olympic sport.
