I would call it a sport, despite that fact that it is a sport that permits consumption of bloody marys and beer during play. Heck that is the best kind of sport!

I hate these "sport or not a sport" debates. So in my opinion, this is a partial definitive list of those sport/games that always get debated. (note, anything that I improve at the drunker I get is not a sport).
Horse Racing - sport
golf - sport
bowling - game (I get better when I'm drunk)
curling - game (ditto, although I fear the wrath of my country)
billiards - game (better when drunk)
synchronized swimming - uncategorizable (again, I fear the wrath of outraged Canadians)
rhythmic gymnastics - some kind of unsightly perversion
figure skating - same
diving - sport
That's all I can think of. If people choose to televise these things and call them sports, that is only because they will make more money off them because you don't make money off games. Except when it's "Games", like the Olympic Games.
