Default Re: BOB COSTAS RIPS POKER!!!!

Regarding that, what is with the need to have an event validated by having it referred to as a sport? I happened to be watching ESPN at one point and came the hot dog eating contest. I couldn't help laughing hysterically as the commentator referred to the event as a sport and insisted upon calling the contestants "finely tuned athletes". Poker players, chess players and competetive eaters are certainly not athletes.
