ESPN airs poker tournaments regularly, just exaxctly how does playing poker qualify as a sport? I'd say playing slot machines or roulette would require more physical movement. Pushing a shopping cart takes much more than sitting at the table calling cards but we don't see a shopping cart race on ESPN.
Sure, playing poker is largely a mind game but taking an IQ test for sure kills more brain cells than poker. Perhaps there isn't much else to cover thus the poker tourneys?
