Has anyone ever heard of a state lottery "scratch-off tournament"? Of course not. Yet it's a multi-billion dollar form of "entertainment" and you can't scratch off a lottery ticket for free... you must pay cash money and it's deemed legal in most states and on a federal level (U.S.), and it requires no skill, what-so-ever.
Do you believe ANY sporting event will be taken seriously if the players involved are participating without monetary compensation? I don't believe so, either. 
The hypocrisy of and deliberate boycott of online poker's legitimacy as a form of legal entertainment is so blatant by "the powers that be" that it should be highlighted as an attempt to keep ordinary citizens, worldwide, from pursuing self-employment and/or means of personal income. It's a form of tyranny, imo. With that being said, to consider poker gambling is in the eye of the beholder. Even Wall Street has guidelines and that's a completely insecure financial investment platform. Brokers are essentially looking for "backers" on their company's reputation. So, why not allow people the chance to invest in themselves while playing a game of skill, online? I believe the only gamble is deciding which site to play at.
