Nice profile of Shane. However, they did somewhat misrepresent him as he is known for being a great money player- far from really opposed to gambling.
Nevertheless, I'm happy pool is getting attention in the general public.
That was a nice segment! I was smiling the whole time. The theme of pool's identity was spot on.
Just watched it live on 60 minutes. Wow, that was excellent exposure for Pool!
Hard to not love Shane, Emily, and even Jayson after that!
Yes--well done by all involved. A good finish with Emily at Matchroom.
Me too. Excellent air time and Shane did a great job. I feel like pool was humanized and Emily left a very positive message. This should give us a nudge in the right direction but exactly how much left to be sceen.
What's the key demographic that sponsors/advertisers look for? Wonder what the average age of a 60 minute viewer is?
Nice segment but not gonna change anything.
Pool and gambling are like peanut butter and jelly and that's what should be promoted. I'm sorry. Maybe I should of said 2 man tournament.
Always thought Harry Platis' idea of doing pool like jai alai was genius.

I don't think Matchroom was trying to reach new pool players with this segment. The plan (if any) is probably to use this coverage when pitching business to corporate partners as an example of pool moving into the modern world and towards a viable sport.
Didn't know Matchroom produced this.
pool wont get an audience until it changes the games it plays. no one wants to watch someone just play himself and run balls. they want a back and forth contest with another person. shot by shot.
tennis. golf to a measure. soccer. basketball etc. it needs to be a moving sport with many instant wins, excitements and loses.
its too much like bowling now, and it needs changing for the public to come around.
look how bowling has died as a tv sport.

Matchroom seems to do ok for snooker. What companies sponsor snooker?
