      just like most people consider golf a leisure activity. does that make it not a sport? laughing at your ignorance.
      Yeah, some boxers call it leisure....

      Can someone clue me in on just how ****ing ******ed this Slip dude is? Someone already told me he was somewhat uneducated, but I'm thinking this **** has an extra chromosome.

      And no, pool is not a sport either. Neither is darts, airhockey, or foosball

          Guys, the number one sport on average that pays the most is Baseball. You have your Arods, Carlos Beltrans, and Adrian Beltre's making 150 million easy....... There is no salary cap in baseball, such that the yankees payroll is in the quarter BILLION dollar realm this year.

              Poker, bodybuilding, golf, chess etc are not sports IMO.

              A sport to me is a game/activity with rules requiring physical exertion and skill engaged in competetion. Poker does not require any physical exertion/prowess, unless you call moving the cards that. Bodybuilding doesnt either, in the actualy competetion they just pose there and it requires no skill. The training may require physical exertions but thats like calling miss universe a sport cos those women may have had to run to loose weight and look good. Golf requires skill but not any physical prowess, same as snooker. Tennis, football, boxing, wrestling etc on the other hand, it has it all. Physical prowess and skills required, you cant be a skinny lil geek who has the skill but the energy of mr.burns to win those.

                I agree with most of that but not golf. It takes physical prowess to drive the ball 300+ yards and to hack the ball out of the long rough.

                  Billiards and Bowling are demonstration sports. They're not included in the olympics as regular sports.

                  POKER is not a game fer gosh sake people!

                    All of that except for Golf my friend...IMHO. Golf is on the same league as Billiards/Pool and Bowling (as demonstration) sports.
