Are bowlers athletes? Should they be considered in the same breath as golfers?

golf is 90% mental

but id like to see some of you fukks that shoot 120 for 18 holes walk 36 holes in a day in 95 degree weather like golfers do in college.

hell, id like to see first basemen, offensive linemen, and centers do it as well.

is NASCAR a sport?

I had someone argue on here last week that it was because they have to handle hot temperatures in the car. ROFL.

Bowlers can out drink Golfers - so, yes, we are better athletes (unfortunately, we can no longer smoke, drink and bowl, something one can still do on the golf course!)

Any activity where you can pound beers and improve at it, like bowling, billiards and darts, is not a sport.
