The definition some provided above had the word "athletic" in it. That basically means you are getting up and moving around. That said, you could consider cheer leading a sport. I am okay with that. But I agree, poker is a game, not a sport. But ESPN shows it because it is a competition event and because people watch it. Personally I think it is incredibly boring, but so is watching golf. But golf is a sport. Whatever.

lol ya know what? I tell ALOT of stories about my dates and "single life" on here, it's usually taken for the comic relief it was intended to deliver.
I do my share of ranting but I wouldn't call myself, and I don't think anyone else who knows me here as being a "hater" This is the 2nd time you've called me out on something like that. You either catch ONLY the threads where I rant or are misconstruing much of what I say. |

He's right on this one, though. Poker <> Sport.

There are 3 forms of activities. Sport, Competition and Leisure.
Poker falls in the category of Competition. |

Cooking is considered a sport, ie Hell's kitchen/Iron Chef.

Just because you dont like the sport doesnt mean it isnt a sport. Poker is incredibly difficult to be good at. These dudes deserve much more respect than you give them. Very little of Poker is luck, its all about being smart and aggressive. These guys ARE Pros and I personally think Poker is much more fun to watch than Baseball. Esp when its teams that arent in my conference.

Definitions of sport on the Web:
* an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition (no, not poker) * the occupation of athletes who compete for pay (no, not poker) nope, not a sport. Last edited by SH0CKWAVE; 06-12-2010 at 01:45 PM.. |

Even your "date" threads are full of Haterade lol. From what I remember about those threads al you did was complain and put down the women(even the children I think). Now I know that can be taken as "comic relief" to some,to me though it comes across as an insecure guy who fails to realize that the world doesn't revolve around them. One "hater" thread I recall is you were at the beach and you seen some guys trying to "surf" with those boards on the sand where the water breaks and you complained it was "gay". Hahahaa you couldnt even enjoy yourself at the BEACH and just chill and drink some beer. Im not trying to put you down seriously but someone has to let you know...get over yourself lol.
I have enough Tankers who truly pick up on the humor and enjoy the posts. Either way, I don't appreciate poker on a sports network. |
