Poker - sport or not a sport?

[Regs]

Yes, this is related to golf...

Vote away, state your reasons why.

Personally, no way is poker a sport.

If Pratt wants to argue it's a sport, where do you stop? How about contestants on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? Imagine the stress they are under! And the concentration it must take, my God... what athletes!

Chess!

Yes, exactly Kurgan, great example!

Is golf a game or a sport then. I still think it's a game more than anything.

Would then Darts be a game or a sport?

If Poker is a sport than is Pictionary?

rock paper scissors!

will they start calling the casinos and poker rooms stadiums, fields or courts?

Anyone can play poker, but not everyone can kick a soccer ball , swing a bat or take a slapshot?

Polska ,,every point you made has nothing to do with being a sport or not.

Waterskiing was left off the olympics because it was classified as not a sport because a boat pulls you...
You need to define sport and then ask the same question.

With water skiing the boat does all the pulling but with masterbation, well, you do all the pulling.

Too easy.

f*ck, hit the wrong button...

absolutely no way poker is a sport

 

[swampdonkey]

If it doesn't make me sweat and bring my heartrate over the fatburn threshold it isn't a sport.

So...golf, darts, poker, pictionary, chess...all not sports. Waterskiing and masterbation are a bit different, there is some quality quad and arm recruitment happening there so I say sport.

not my words because i cant say it better than this....

"Put me up against Daniel Negraneu heads up, and I have a chance of winning if I get dealt good cards and get lucky. Put me up against Tiger Woods in a round of golf and I don't have a chance in hell unless I have the physical skill set to compete(therefore making me an athlete).

A 600 pound guy playing online poker on a laptop laying in his bed is not engaging in a sport."
