Why would it be a sport? It is a card game. There is no athleticism involved.
Most consider NASCAR a sport. Those guys just hold a steering wheel and keep turning left all day - no athleticism. What about Golfer's, are they athletes?
Hey, I'm not saying Poker is a sport. I'm just saying the "no athleticism" argument is a poor one.
Of'coarce poker is not a sport. However, I can assure you, many poker players want it to be considered a sport and are promoting it as such.
