So if you're playing golf it depends on where your playing if it's a sport or not?

I think it would be more interesting than bowling.
In fact, now that I think about it, I would be much more likely to watch a video game tournament on TV than I would a bowling, golf, or tennis tournament.

I'd say a person could drink while playing a lot of sports. And do you think Pro Golfers are drinking during a round? They aren't.

My rule applies specifically as to whether or not I feel it appropriate. For instance NASCAR is not a sport because I think it would be socially acceptable to operate race cars at a high rate of speed while drinking.

So Nascar is not a sport because they can't drink and drive? I don't think that's what you meant.

As far as professional bowlers go I don't think being a pro bowler makes one an athlete but there are pro bowlers who approach their craft as an athlete therefore they are athletes in that regard.

One of the original Microsoft employees (like #105 or something) bought the PBA a few years ago. Got the entire league for $5 million. Since then it seems like it has grown again in popularity. I bet it was a good investment overall.
