And poker?

Poker is a strange one because the variance is very high. So although it's a game of skill I could sit down a session with Phi Ivey and win, whereas I couldn't do that with any sports I could think of. So I'd go no.

I laughed.

Pros no, but people have passed out at the wheel before. A 70 year old man would put himself into an early grave if he was constantly racing F1 cars.

While I agree with the first part, unless what we consider constant, in regards to F1 racing, is immensely divergent, then I'd have to say there's not chance a 70 year old man ever reaches such a status. I would think a man in the fittest half a percentile for 70 year old men would be unlikely to finish a lap, much less a race, at competitive speeds.

This is a very interesting criteria, and one I'm not sure I'm in disagreement with. But then we have to look at sports like American Football, with it's 16 game regular seasons. The variance is insanely high in any given season, and winning the Super Bowl is not a definitive indication for who the best team is.
