Ok here it goes. I can’t keep it bottled up any longer.
Where to start? Who knows so I’ll just fire out a list in no particular order:
Purple 5 ball
Shaws record-disputes
WADA
Was this a foul? Was that a foul? Let’s watch in instant replay.
Where’s Daz, where’s Gorst? Who else is missing?
Table specs & what’s a record and what isn’t.
This is reminding me of instant replay in football and is way to technical, which is why I ignore football or any other technical nonsense milk drinker sport.
I came into pool 40 years ago because it was rough around the edges, the 5 was orange and people weren’t under the microscope. If they had habits it was on them. It was every man for himself. It wasn’t perfect, it was broken then and that was ok.
People could hustle other people, obtaining money under false pretenses was celebrated not looked down on.
You wanted to learn you had to pay your dues. Now you can buy your dues(almost).
2 records in the same run? To make everyone happy. The rule nazi’s and the rest of the pool fans? How does that even make sense?
Champions who should be in tourneys are sidelined for saying “fuk” or what ever or because they are from the wrong country.
All the PC shit is worming it’s way into pool. Had I saw this coming, I’d have passed long ago. I’d have never been part of the pool world in any shape or form.
I miss guys like UJ Puckett, Grady, Keith, Cole, Bobby Pickle, etc. Broken people with personality’s and yet they made their way in life and were fun. I’m a broken person and I can’t make a ball compared to them. Not in the same league, but I’m fun and not a milk drinker. There were lots of non-pro people in pool who were personality’s. I don’t see new ones coming in and others leaving for these PC reasons.
I’m tired of the milk drinker robots, wrong color balls and constantly arguing over the pocket size just to have a record “modified” because maybe a ball was brushed ina exhibition. Shaw was cool and said what he had to about it-he’s smart, however what he thought and said I’d bet are 2 VERY different things. Think the guys listed above would have gave that answer 30 years ago? Shaw had no choice-again he’s smart.
It’s taking the seediness, smoky back room Allure that pool had for me. WADA? Gtfo of here!!!! Go to the Olympic’s not pool!!!!
If I disappear tmr from pool this is why, not many will notice. But I refuse to succumb to the current state of affairs.
