I'm probably one of those guys. I fit the description.
Hustlin USA is a brand, not an advertisement. Do you think the hot pink thongs and tank tops he sells are for pool players? The owner is local, and frequents HardTimes. Buying his products, and products from others supports the sport.
Frankly the comment is offensive as we should be a little less judgemental and more friendly to our fellow players.
Perhaps, if I said that someone that plays like you should be using a house stick, not a custom, it would give you an idea of how it would feel to hear such ignorance.
I'm surprised at you, as you know we have played before and I frequently wear Hustlin, TAR and other shirts. I do have a couple of "Old School Pool" shirts, perhaps thats all I should wear.
BTW, you can find action at HardTimes.
