In sports, there is a passion to win. In any sport there is a risk of losing. Therefore the poker game more athletic than not
I can say pOker player is a sportsman only when poker player is involved in sport (not poker! I mean active actions: football, tennis etc) ! Like Nadal foR exampl. But when you sitting near pc all day long what kind of sportsman you are? Is reading books and learning im college is a sport, nope,
I hope in future,Poker is not only just a games, but its SPORT.
I would say that poker players are something between sportsmen and gamblers. You need to practice and play a lot to become a good poker player and there are tournaments that are on high national level so in that view it is something like sport, but also poker players are gamblers, so in conclusion it is a gambling sport.
