    Then object yourself right on back to the drawing board and find an actual athlete.

    I am. If poker's not allowed, drivers shouldn't be allowed either.

    I have a feeling you are about to pick Mae Young.

    Poker is not a sport. Sorry dude, but that's a Roble move.

    Also, saying that Poker is a sport is like saying that the national spelling bee or chess is one too. And that is absolutely ridiculous.

    You're killin me smalls. Drivers are allowed, poker players aren't. There's no athletic ability required to lift your arm and throw some chips on a table.

    Then drivers should be disqualified as well. They sit there for 4 hours and make left turns. They put no more physical effort into anything than a poker player does.

    I'll retract my choice, but some clarity needs to be thrown out here about what is and isn't a sport.

    There's no athletic ability required to sit in a car and turn a steering wheel.

    They become dehydrated and have to drive a vehicle that can reach over 130 degrees, as well as having to have ridiculous upper body strength. Just stop this JD, really. Take Shannon as some other pick.

    False, there is actually some athletic ability to keep a car on a track traveling well over 150 mph and the body has to deal with all the g-forces and crap.

    I'll make the rules more clear.
