Of course an inanimate object like a table can’t be “disrespected.” Objects never care. But what things represent to people in this case the games history and image of the game/sport to people watching can. The line of what’s acceptable and dignified always shifts, and usually slides in the wrong direction. That’s the whole point of my comment about people looking for the clicks & likes. That’s a trait that was around long before social media but is now magnified and now normalized. It cheapens a culture’s values and rewards fake-as-fuck moments. Climbing on tables feels less like raw emotion and more like a scripted TV stunt. If cosplay is our plan to “juice” the sport, we’re in bigger trouble than I thought. I get it, I’ll never win an argument or debate on what is “normal” in a society.

Scratch by Chang in the 9th rack is going to hurt. Not sure Shane has found his rhythm though, has been making the 1 on the break consistently but not the layouts he'd like. Edit: Shane then scratched on his kick on the 2 after the break, ouch.

The equipment is a inanimate object that cant be disrespected, we who love the game regard it as more, but its just a table. I think it seems a little rehearsed but, no harm no foul.

The sport needs juice even ifs a little silly looking, if it reminds someone whos watching of the Nascar drivers standing on top of their cars maybe they'll tell someone about and we'll gain a new fan...,
