You Can't Run With Men if You Can't Take a Verbal Beatdown

Stop fearing

Someone asked about what downside is there to doing this. This thread demonstrates exactly what the downside is, as it is turning into what?: An argument about politics, a division of our ranks into warring factions, a negative.

That's what I fear with these types of actions.

Nobody is doing that.
We are talking about the good and the bad points of inviting the President to an internationally recognized tournament.

ARE ANY OF YOU GOING TO REACH OUT TO YOUR MILITARY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO LET THEM KNOW THE MOSCONI CUP EXISTS?
Are you going to help TEAM USA or NOT??
If not, hit the road.
If so, then contribute constructively.
 
I wish that he would instead donate the cost (to the taxpayers) of the flight and entourage going to Vegas to the MC purse.:smile:

You are mistaken

No more than 5000 people are bothered with the Mosconi or any other pool tournament in the world. Hardly "call the President" stuff.

If only 5,000 people pay attention (here) so be it.

Why is Matchroom Sport in business?

Because their programming reaches far beyond our shores to every country and this programming
INCLUDES THE MOSCONI CUP!.

I will assume you don't travel outside the USA,
so this means you don't know what the rest of the world watches.
Sky Sport , Euro Sport, and Sun Sport exist and air pool prime time.

Are you going to tell people about the Mosconi Cup?
Are you going to be proactive?
Are YOU snucar going to help TEAM USA or NOT?

there's no cost to send a message of encouragement though-

And Dub, I came in with my weapon holstered. Not nary a bad work and even suggested inviting the Sec of Commerce instead since she owns a pool table ;)

And yeah, I don't much care for Obama or his politics, but the other half that does might like it that he plays pool, and might check it out. So it could NEVER hurt the game at all. And any promotion of pool helps the game, every little bit.

Obama is a White Sox fan, but he does wear his Sox cap now and again, and that don't hurt the team by giving them a little attention, so that's cool. Still don't like him, but he is a Sox fan, so he's doing something right ;)

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. First of all, I'm from Europe and not the USA. The majority of the Europeans (and the rest of the world) are watching the MC free through streaming of the Sky Sports channel, they don't spend a single penny. Only some British chaps use the Sky channels directly. Eurosport definitely does not show pool, but snooker. As for why Matchroom is in the business, I'll tell you what Ted Lerner himself once told me when I barked at him complaining about the Doha organisation of the WC wishing Matchroom to come back and take the WC...his words were something like that "if you think that Matchroom makes money out of its pool events, you 're a fool(hence why they've abandoned the World Championship)...every single pool event goes in red, make no mistake about that...but the investment worth the money spent because it makes the company's image look better and shows they're active on more areas than one, which is great for their marketing value...the contract they have with Sky is peanuts and that's the only reason Sky is interested in their pool events".

But I guess you are better informed than Ted Lerner is.

I understand and I know about some of the finer points.

I know Ted, and we never talked about the finances of MS-

should I have the inclination,
I will ask Barry Hearn himself and I will not rely on anyone else's supposition

My point is they are in business and pool IS aired and people do watch.

Now that you live here-
WILL YOU TELL PEOPLE AROUND YOU ABOUT THE MOSCONI CUP??
You, yourself, with your own mouth or fingers- will YOU do something or nothing to help?

I will and have gone to Vegas if they aren't sold out already...very popular. Will you?

Be well
 
Yes-

Yes, I will be there.

But I asked if you will tell people that there is a Mosconi Cup-
The problem is not whether we- the pool community know-

The problem is the rest of the non-pool playing world does not know.
 
Good effort Chicagoplayer.

Maybe "Hatred of one man" = "Love of country" for some people.
