Sports require physical involvement. Keeping that in mind one may argue that poker (or chess) is not a sports.
Another argument in opposite direction is that we utilize our brain to play poker or chess. And brain is an active part of our physical body just like our heart. So physical involvement is there. Brain controls all physical movements. If brain is paralyzed then no body movement is possible. Hence poker or chess should be considered as sports.
