Is bowling a Sport?

Now that state bowling is over, people are debating whether bowling really is a sport. I believe that bowling is a sport because otherwise you'd have to call it a game.Pretty much anybody can play a game even little kids play Monopoly. I mean pretty much anyone can bowl too, but can they actually play it good and play without the rails. Also I think of bowling as a sport because there is competition. Do you really have a sport without competition? I also think bowling is a sport because you have to have some talent and athelticism. You have to have a good muscle build to lift that 16 pound ball and throw it the right way. You have to have some talent for bowling or have a lot of practice to actually be good at bowling. Bowling also has a measurment system like many more strikes and spares. And that is why I think bowling is a sport. What do you think? Should bowling be called a sport?
