Re:
He's not wrong.
But would chess be so popular if it was televised? No because is a game of ability and not luck. You know that the best player will NOT lose. People like these kind of games. 20 Years ago you could win a washing machine in a tv game show like spin the wheel or something and people actually watched it. Today it's poker. It's definetly not a sport but for the time being it's sure entertaining.

Re: Article: If poker is sport, it\'s time to fold
Sorry, that post is for the Stone Cold Pro guy.
As for the stupid article, poker is an intellectual game and well worth watching on TV. It makes the brain think. Now fat guys sitting at home watching a bunch of overpriced athletes is pathetic. They should be playing the sports themselves.

They don't put bridge and chess in sports. [/ QUOTE ] Some newspapers do put the bridge and chess columns in the sports section. If poker doesn't belong in the sports section, what part of the paper would your suggest putting it in?

With something like the ME of the WSOP it could be a story somehwere in the National section of the paper. Personally, if a paper has an arts and leisure section (as the New York Times does), I would put a regular colun there (which is where I believe they put chess and bridge, although they may stuff those in Metro)as tomany people poker is a leisure activity (myself included).
