I agree Poker is not a sport. But they have it on ESPN, a sports network, anyways.
Disagree with you about golf though.

Golf is as much of a sport as darts or working on your car. Just because it takes some coordination doesn't mean it isn't lame.

If you are largely obese and can do well in it, I don't consider it a sport.
