Message: [QUOTE="KLock7, post: 982421, member: 26932"] It's a GAME of skill. To me, for it to be a sport it has to be something athletic. I get that you have to have great endurance to make it through the huge numbers in some tournaments, but when you have people that are in the "golden years" still playing and doing well, I don't think you can call it a sport. The fact that it's on ESPN doesn't do anything to convince me that it's a sport. The WPT is on the Travel Channel, Poker After Dark is on NBC, I even see it on other channels from time to time. ESPN would be crazy not to have it on considering it's what pro wrestling was to cable back in the day. Ratings, ratings, ratings. [/QUOTE]
