To me, a sport is any game where there is actual defensive personnel. I don't think poker is a sport, but its sure has spread like wildfire over the college aged crowd. Two summers ago, I had never played a single hand of Texas Hold Em, but this summer I there wasn't a week that went by without at least 3 tourneys going on that I would hear of. ESPN shows poker because they know it will get the ratings.
