Default BOB COSTAS RIPS POKER!!!!

Did anyone see Costas Now this week? At the end of the show he does a commentary on poker. He portrays poker players as degenerate, pasty faced, overweight losers. And shouldn't call poker a sport.

I got a question for Bob. Why does he glorify professional athletes in the football, baseball, basketball, etc.. and say what they do is a sport and deserve praise. And think a poker professional are degenerate losers that deserve to be looked down upon? Because a human can be born and abnormal size and put a ball in a hoop or over a wall(probably with the help of steroids) are the people he feels he and the nation should praise. But a poker player who uses his brain to make decisions to win the event should looked down upon?

I guess poker players should apologize for being intelligent and using there brains. And start taking steroids and use braun(like cavemen) to win Bob over!

Btw his commentary is exactly how the public that knows nothing about poker has seen it for years. Just as we start turning the corner we get dopes like Costas bashing it. You would think someone in his position would want to know somehitng about poker before making a commentary bashing it.
