    Olympics Should bowling be an Olympic event?

    Why not? If archery, shooting and even ping-pong are at the Olympics, then why not bowling?

    Everyone loves bowling.

    I think golf being snubbed from the Olympics is an absolute joke.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    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.

    If curling can be one, so should bowling. Or golf.

    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?

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