How come bowling is not a category for sports when it is the sport that has the most participation?

Question

On yahoo there is no category for it. Why not? Is it cause so many people suck at bowling?

Answer 1

I can see why its not the most popular. Although bowling is one of the most participated sport, that includes just the casual open bowler only bowling once a year too... And a lot of people would consider it a game, not a sport.... I think its both, depending on what level your talking about. I'm on 2 leagues, and ones more a night out, like I'll always try my best, but i dont really care how i do, cuz its a fun league... My other one most people on there would considerr it a sport cuz its more competive, including matchpoints, etc.

Anyways, since a lot of people do consider it a game, that could be why. I dont really care one way or another, i just search for the bowling questions...

Like I said, I could understand why bowling is not on there, but curling??? I mean curling cannnot be any more popular than bowling. No offense to anyone who might curl, but come on... I started getting into it a little bit w/ the olympics, at least I know what the sport is now, but before that I barely even heard of it!!!

Ok, done ranting, but bottom line is who knows???

Oh another thing I meant to mention was that they cannot possibly put every sport down, and although those that bowl want it, the interest may not be there... But again, curling?

Answer 2

I would consider it a game rather than a sport.
In the same category as miniature golf or darts.
