sour grapes I see - you English should push the boundaries of sport like us Scots.  I confidently expect Scotland to be Elephant polo gold medallists in the London Olympics unless of course the bitter English don't allow Elephant polo in the games  :D

Given than the Scots team all train on bicycles, I think they should introduce bicycle polo to the olympics.

BTW, if Elephant polo is a sport, then so is poker!

In my opinion, Poker is a sport. It is a opinion that a lot of top pro's share.

I figure that Poker is a sport that taxes your mental and physical endurance. Playing for 12 -14 hours is pretty taxing.
