If they let sport that are judged in and extreme amounts of lying and cheating then why not. It show that they can actually put something in that involves intense thought.

No. that's not practical. sports involve physical activity. where as poker you just sit on your butt and think about strategies and such to win the game. definitely does not deserve to be an Olympic sport. and I'm sure that it never will be ever.

No way. It requires no physical skill other than being able pick up a card. That's like when people call video gaming a sport. Poker being a sport is just stupid.

What about other card games? Chess? Checkers? No way. The Olympics, by name, hail back to Greece. In Greece, the Olympic games were athletic. All of them. Hurling a discus, racing, wrestling, gymnastics, pugilism, fencing...these are Olympic because they involve the athletic skills. Poker has absolutely nothing to do with the history of the Olympics and would dishonor the gold medals won by athletes.

Hell yea it should, they have curling for gods sake....if thats not a sport I don't know what is. If curling can become an Olympic we could at least get horse shoes in there.

No. I'm sure petting your monkey while looking at pictures of Alain Bernard is high on your list too. Nothing much else to do in Calgary, eh Bill?
