He earned his spot.

If you say so. I don't find fault in your logic, this(for me) is more about everybody disrespecting one of our best players because people hate him. He hasn't even come close to displaying the behavior hundreds of other pro athletes have - murder, drug dealing, spousal/child abuse, high speed drunk/drug driving, dog fighting, and the list goes on, does Earl even gamble???

I'm glad we have so many perfect people on this site 🥱
 
Name your bet and I might be interested. $1,000 minimum. Hope I am not breaking forum rules talking about bets here.

The world isn't fair

some have good health

a few are born into affluence

some are more likable

a few gain wealth by playing games, athletic and others

more often than not we're best served by preparing ourselves to excel in our chosen endeavor instead of focusing on injustice

as i said the world isn't fair

last i read MD was selling home improvement products which may be less stressful than competing at the highest national and international levels of anything, he might not want to fly too close to the sun

although he may not admit it he probably knew ( i think he's bright) what would result from his actions

If life was fair, the rules wouldn't have ever been changed and Corey Deuel would;ve been the best nineball player with his perfected softbreak. It's kind of pathetic that players complain about people perfecting an aspect of the game. Just get better at it yourself.

Absolutely! And It wasn't really a soft break. He was making balls, and had at least four balls hitting a rail. It was just a bunch of whining losers the got the rule changed. There's no reason they couldn't have practiced it and done it themselves.

Jason, with all due respect, I think we are talking about behavior on the field of play (in Earl's case), not someone's personal life away from the game. I agree with you about all the "pro" athetes who are pretty worthless human beings. This is the main reason I've lost interest in supporting many pro sports (buying overpriced tickets to games, highly overpriced clothing, etc.). I don't care to support these athletes who I have no respect for. When I see them throwing their money around so self indulgently and never giving back to their communities in any way, I am disgusted. So many of them appear to be spoiled, self entitled prima donnas. When they talk, they only perpetuate that image with their bad speech and ignorant statements. Their lack of education is obvious. They may be great athletes, but that's where it ends for me. Yes, there are the exceptions to this bad characterization, but the fact remains they are the exceptions and not the rule. The NFL and NBA are populated with thugs and wanna-be gangsters. No thanks, I don't want your autograph!

Totally agree. I call the NFL the 'National Felon League'. Earl may be off-the-air at times but he's not out slingin' dope or beatin' up his old lady.

I don't hate Earl. I'm just in the group of people that think a spot on the team should be earned based on recent accomplishments.

Despite being a liberal, I'm actually against participation trophies.
 
To me one is too many. Since 2000 every team in the NFL has had at least ten arrests. I know they get publicity and all but i wouldn't get out of the electric chair to watch an NFL game. Besides the thugs you now have all this lame-ass 'woke' kneeling shit. Fk em.
 
met earl several time as a teenager , he also would travel down to fayettnam billiard supply . everyone always knew he was a doushe but the
way he played pool gave him pass for most part . he also and i saw it also where he would put women down . i dunno if the owner of the supply store is still alive he was good friends with him . i will just leave earl to what i personally know and seen ,

great player ,lesser man ,

Yup, as soon as one of them "other" guys wins a World Championship, let us know. Heck, we will settle for a US Open win as well. We'll wait. Don't have have to be multiple times, just "one" will do. And since when does everyone else make up the "rules" for MC. It's not your event or my event, they can put anyone in they like. Recent accomplishments? Name someone other than SVB that is still playing what will ever accomplish what Earl did, ever. Oh, they can dream, but not gonna happen. lol

That's the point Jay. So, if the billion dollar pro businesses can put up with felons, wife beaters, drug addicts, rapists surely pool, a game nobody watches, nobody cares about and is not even on TV can surely allow a guy that gets emotional when he plays. It's absurd to act like this is a big deal to anyone. Geez, he's been playing for 40 years and we're still talking about the same shit. Earl can get obnoxious at times. That is not a reason to ban the guy from earning a living. geez, lighten up, to much hate to take to the grave, no ?

LeBron is paid millions to shut up and turn a blind eye to the atrocities in China. Why, that's where his shoes are made and China is a big time market for the NBA. So, who cares about the Millions murdered, or the kids working in factories, or the woman sold as slaves, we have bigger problems....... Earl is Baaaaaaack. lol

If you've never put a woman down, you've never dated one. I know all the white knights will be to the rescue
