Poker

Is poker a sport? The persons from ESPN think so. ESPN has it in their website under the tab "more sports". I think its definitely not a sport. A sport involves a lot of practice to actually be good at it. Yes, you do need to practice to get better at poker but you don't do any exercise or anything physical. All you do in poker is sit for hours and look at cards. Almost all sports involve some type of running. Even walking. In poker, you do not do any of these things. For something to be a sport in my book, you have to be doing something active. Poker is more like a hobby not a sport. I would put it in the same category as bird watching.
