Let's look at the signs. Is it on ESPN? Check. Really annoying play-by-play commentators? Definitely. Wild, obnoxious, screaming fans? Yup, got those, too. Lots of filler between the action, complete with in depth analysis of the players? Oh yeah. Big money championship complete with jewelry? Heck, they even call it the World Series.
Okay, so this is definitely a sport. Right?
IT'S A BUNCH OF GUYS SITTING AROUND PLAYING CARDS!!! How did a poker game turn into a sport? And everybody's watching it. They must be. It's on all the time. On multiple channels. Not just guys either. My dear sweet mum-in-law was addicted to watching it.
So's my hubby. He likes Daniel and Phil...Ivey, not Hellmuth, but no one like Hellmuth, he a poker brat and ... OMG!!!! I know their names! I know their faces! It's got me, too!
Somebody help me!!
Please...
Before it's too...

That is too funny. The closest I've come to poker is playing those slot machines in Las Vegas.
Actually, I enjoy playing. We get into games at family gathering sometimes. (That picture of Eleonora - she cleaned us all out.)
But as a sport on TV? Makes no sense at all.
LOL :) I must admit I've never watched poker, and I'm pretty much a sports nut! :)
It's crazy. I suppose it takes some degree of skill, but I think they're stretching the definition of sport.
Jemi - Thanks so much for stopping by and becoming a follower. I'm a bit of a sports nut myself.
Maria - I appreciate the skill and watching them play can be addictive - but treating it like a sport? ESPN? Makes no sense to me.
NOT a sport!!! There is NO physical activity involved what-so-ever! In pretty much every definition I have found of a sport it involves the words PHYSICAL ACTIVITY! LOL. I like playing poker but NO WAY am I gonna watch it on tv. NOPE! Glad you and Stan enjoy it though. Have fun with that! LOL Love you guys!
