Now to throw another cog that get my goat...  I hate the fact that every activity has the need to be a sport...  according to the definitions earlier on the thread, sports have to have a quantitative non-subjective winner or looser...  ok, great... I agree...  So in order to fulfill this sporting quality... things like ice-dancing, and parallel bars and synchronized swimming have judges.  What the hell, man.  Activities that have a huge level of athleticism yes, but sports... come on.

As for me...  in truth, no, I do not believe that poker is a sport.  And this category of "mind-sport"... nah...  I don't buy it...  yeah it's a great game, but on any level; online, live, pro or amateaur...  it's still a game... just like chess  I am not sure why people think it's more lofty to classify it as a sport.  And that in order to play they should be classified as atheletes.

If you told any athletic director or sports director at a university, college or high school that they now have to govern the chess club, I'd like to see what his face would look like.
