The pros are bad actors?

Ask what's wrong with pool.... Don't look at the pros, look at the promoters. Anyone ever watch a US Open golf or tennis tournament?

Just a little different

How embarrassing for anyone who gives a shit

Guarantee you one thing, Joel. You'll NEVER see Mark Griffin or Greg Sullivan sloshed to the gills out in front of everyone. BTW, in case you hadn't noticed, I recently relocated to your lovely state!

The Billiard Pros are no different than any other sport, they are just more talented

Thanks, I'll add that through the years the promoters have also controlled the rules, the length of races and the equipment guidelines (even the match times, in Tunica they started at 9 am and were over at 5 pm., is pool really a 9 To 5 game???).....usually the sponsor that puts up money gets to use their own Cue Ball, Rack, Table, and they also seed the players any way they choose.......and of course it's done in the "back room".

The Billiard Pros are no different than any other sport (they're just more talented overall, does that make them"bad"?), they've just been abused by promoters/sponsors through the years, and without money it's hard to get by without conflict in this world......that would be true for the other sports celebrities as well, money will cover up a multitude of imperfections.
