"Poker" is not a living entity. It is incapable of "wanting" to be anything.

Besides, every venue already has written rules. Perhaps what you meant to say was, "Poker needs a central governing body."

OTOH, it's not like all sports have one set of rules or governing body. Take golf. The USGA, PGA and R&A all have differences in some rules.

Oh, one other thing. Poker is not a sport. "Sports" by definition require some form of complex physical motor skill. Poker does not (chip tricks don't count).
