Is Poker A Sport? No or Yes

Poker has been all over TV the past year, but why is it on the sports channels? There is no athleticism involved.

Poker suck and everyone plays it, so that's why I hate it so much.
..golf isn't a sport either to me, but is being shown on sportchannels.

btw, they're showing it because of there's a crowd, it's a challenge and it's really gay.

no, it's not a sport. it's fun to play tho.

if anything, really, it's a form of gambling.

Poker just happens to be a fucking awesome game, it ain't a sport but its sporting when you steal peoples money.

Seriously, don't bag it unless you've played a tournament with mates, you dunno what you're missing out on.

3 people said it was, and yet none of them posted to say they said yes, thats because they obviously cannot type,as they are so stupid.

Therefore there votes should not count,and thus poker is no sport.

Not really but it does require some skill to fool your oponent.
