Yes, so poker shouldn't be considered a sport, either.

If poker is a sport, so is Magic: The Gathering. If Magic: The Gathering is a sport, then the word sport has no meaning at all.

Edit: Or put it this way. It may be a "sport", but its players are not athletes.

To bad it is, and by the US government eSports Athlete's are considered Athlete's so they win XD

Maybe on day we will se it In the Olympics.
