Code: 
[10:41.07] <@Cringe>  sport consists of a physical and mentally competitive activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these.
[10:41.15] <@Cringe> mental for poker is obvious
[10:41.16] <@Cringe> physical is not
[10:41.16] <Vanster> I like how poker players are getting sponsorships from Oakley now
[10:41.20] <Vanster> hilarious
[10:41.21] <@Cringe> but having to sit in a room for 16 hours
[10:41.24] <@Cringe> playing almost non-stop
[10:41.28] <@Cringe> is quite physical
Anyone else dumb enough to think Poker (or Darts, which is on FSN right now) qualifies as a "sport?"

I sit on my ass for 12 hours a day. I guess that makes me an athlete.
 
fat lazy people need to feel that their physically undemanding 'pub games' or whatever are real sports so they can feel better about being fat and lazy
 
I would think you'd need to be an actual athlete to truly compete in any real sport. Fossil Man is not an athlete.
