Oxford dictionary definition of sport:

"[COLOR=#202124]an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.[/COLOR]"

Cambridge dictionary: 
"a game, competition, or activity needing physical effort and skill that is played or done according to rules, for enjoyment and/or as a job::"

There are other definitions depending on the context, like being a good sport, or sporting a new pair of shoes.

As I said in my earlier post, some people will say anything no matter what is actually factual. If you consider taking a piss in the break, or stuffing food in your mouth in between hands, or stacking your chips and so on as physical exertion, then it is no wonder you would consider poker a sport.

Poker, like sports, involves skill. But physical exertion?.... If you want to convince yourself that is true, let me know if you want some premium real estate in southern Florida. I have some great plots............

Words, and their meanings, matter. Changing the definition of a word only changes the facts in your mind but in the real world, the definition does not change simply because you have your own "interpretation"......
