Is Poker consider in Sport or not?

Professional poker must be considered a sport becasue there are millions of players all over the world playing various forms. Professional players actually earn a living by playing poker, much like other athletes. The game of poker, when played professionally, is very challenging for a person because of the intense mental strain they must undergo in order to be successfulPoker players engage in true competition, much like other sports the biggest, strongest fastest athletes don't always win nor do the players with the best hand always win. Another aspect of poker is that it is one of the fairest sports imaginable; everyone at the table is equal, no matter their size, beliefs or ethnicity.
On the other, poker is not considered a sport because its players are not athletes. If anything, they are rewarded for being lazy. Here's an idea: let's sit around for four days straight, drinking beer and playing cards for millions of dollars.Poker is, without a doubt, entertaining and a fun activity for a night-in, but it is not a sport. An activity in which a group of friends can sit at their kitchen table, watching ESPN, drinking their favorite alcoholic beverage and playing for measly pots of monetary prizes is not a sport.
