There are still going to be woman with tank tops and low cut shirts, and short shorts. There will still be the group of young people with foul mouths...
In my opinion you can't completely cut yourself off from the sinful world unless you stay home from all of these places and work from home as well. I just can't figure out the difference. And I'm not picking in the least. I know this will be fodder.. but really, what is your opinion?

I believe you have succeeded in putting me on the spot!
What you have pointed out is, in my opinion, one of the glaring inconsistencies in the defacto rule book. That said, I believe many of them are opposed to the open consumption of alcohol and some are opposed to the competition and violence aspects of the athletic events... especially your national sport, Hockey!
AS for bowling, not too many are opposed to the sport as much as the sometimes unsavory environment of some bowling alleys... drinking and such. Many churches I am aware of rent part of a bowling alley for events. Others don't oppose bowling in the more "family focused" lanes.
I imagine that by now you have figured out that I do not have a good answer to the question you have posed. Therefore I am going with the traditional response... just obey your pastor's teaching and all will be well... don't ever go and you won't know what you are missing. If those two don't get the job done... I am totally worthless!
