Re: Article: If poker is sport, it\'s time to fold
poker is not a sport. neither is cheerleading, figure skating, gymnastics, or skateboarding. but all these r on tv and i have no problem with that. for me a sport is a competition, that requires physical skill, and is not decide based on someone's opinion of how they performed.
if there was a place to put poker and other non-sports that fit, that would be fine. but for now the best place is the sports page.
as for having poker being sold thru the media, yes it has it's dangers but a lot of ppl still think its only played in smoking backrooms. if i am not mistaken, there was a rule that got u kicked out of the wsop if u smoked at the table.
