There are plenty of things that I can marginally call sports, such as Nascar (leave it alone, I'm entitled to an opinion) or Golf (likewise) that require great amounts of hand eye coordination. I just look at these two events more as games than sports. I KNOW that Golf, at least, requires natural talent and hard training/dedication, but there's just no way that you could make a case to me that it is as challenging physically as playing a game of football, hitting a 95 mph heater, or having to defend Kobe for 30+ minutes.

So, IMHO, poker is a game. Thats it. And I love it but I wish I could have my ESPN back--put it on the Travel Chanel or BRAVO or something.
