Message: [QUOTE="Monoxide, post: 1029772, member: 22706"] Poker is as much a sport as Chess or Checkers, or backgammon even. They are all just games, not sports. Sports are totally different. Think of it like this, if a 86 year old man can play poker, but cannot even remotely compete at a similar level at say, Golf, then poker is not a sport. The essense of sports is that they are extreamly physical and you usually must be younger and strong to compete in them. Poker though is just not a "physical" game in any way, shape or form. The 86 year old man could bust Phil Ivey in a tournament just as easy as a 26 year old man. Could the 86 year old beat tiger woods, or any pro golfer on the green? Fck no. I guess that pretty much proves it, lol. [/QUOTE]
