Is poker a sport?

As for NASCAR, I have to say growing up in Alabama and knowing a professional racecar driver, you would not believe the physical stress they go through driving those cars. There's no power steering, they are crammed in a seat that just barely gives them enough room to cut a fart, the heat is unbearable, and they are pulling some serious Gs at those high speeds going around those turns... I wouldn't wanna do it, and I'll try almost anything once!

Flying a space shuttle to orbit/to the moon fits all these conditions and then some, but I don't consider it a sport. There is some competition involved too... it's called, "can I somehow beat every natural law that's trying to kill me while pursuing this activity".

Yes, but there are not multiple space shuttles racing each other to get to the moon

Nice try, but those were not all at the same time within inches of each other like Nascars

Your original statement did not include "same time" of which, time can be argued to be relative anyway.

For me Poker is not a sport, I see it as a game. For someone it maybe sport, and for pro players you could say that it is a job

It is any of various card games played by two or more players who bet on the value of their hands. Recently i started watching one game show names High stakes poker. After watching few episodes, i am like big fan of it. Now i am regular viewer of this show and eagerly waiting for high stakes poker season 7 episode 12.
