How true this post is, well stated. You could have the U.S. Open on the big screen TV behind the bar with the restrooms adjacent to it. You can sit there and watch it all night on the busiest league night and not two league players will stop to watch or even ask who's playing or what tournament is on, even though a few are coming up to the bar and many are passing back and forth to use the restrooms all night long.
They (league players aren't real Pool players) simply have no interest in Pro Pool players in doesn't matter what tables they are playing on, because in all reality they really have little interest in Pool. It's just a night out for them, where they can BS, maybe have a few beers, stand in the way of any poor sole unlucky enough to be renting a table anywhere near them, and if you dare say something they will get indignant and say something like "well you shouldn't be playing next to the league anyway" like you would be if you had any other choice, instead of a simple sorry I guess I shouldn't have been standing two feet from your table with my back toward it, you are right. I don't own the place because I come in once a week to play in a league. These people aren't real Pool players and never will be, it's just a night out for them, you could replace the word Pool with any other activity and they wouldn't really be into that activity either, it's a night out for them, period.
They don't have junk leagues like ours in other countries they get serious players and run the leagues right, the leagues here are like some carnival side show. it's best to just stay away from the Pool rooms on league nights. The leagues players show no courtesy what so ever, then people will say "well they just don't know any better", and if that were true that's one thing. The truth is they they don't know any better because they simply don't care, the proof is if they did care over time they would show more courtesy and that simply doesn't happen. -----------------> One can only feign ignorance for so long.
