There is a clear difference between a sport and a game. Sports involve physical competition, to compare bodily abilities, and poker is a purely mental game. A home computer could do it, but a computer could not play basketball or swim.

Baseball was the only "sport" fat people could could win.
Maybe the IOC can give us a little love too. I was readin an article in Sports Illustrated that said rugby is gonna be the next sport included in the games.Quote:

He is a pitcher, a fat pitcher.

To flesh... if you read my post I wasn't suggestion football (us) should be an olympic sport, just noting that there are "fat guy" sports out there besides baseball.
