No, the majority of the Viewers of ESPN still come from traditional Cable, although Cable Subscribers are declining.

Jay Helfert explained many of the reasons, and many other s have pointed out major issues, however people just get upset and make excuses. I can accept that as currently constituted, America does not have the amount of quality Players as the rest of the World, and doesn’t know what to do about...

Pool doesn’t seem to be able to entice Flies to stop by if they had a bowel movement, and they don’t know how to develop, promote, or choose a competitive Team, and it’s Shameful.

I've even seen referees pick up the Cue Ball before it comes to rest, when a Player fails to hit the lowest ball first. It didn't seem as if the Cue Ball would have come in contact with another ball, but why not just wait a second or two longer before all the balls come to rest? Especially when...

I saw Miami run out Three straight times playing One-Pocket, for Big Dollars, One-Handed! I saw Bugs run 5 straight Racks in One-Pocket giving up the Nuts! Like Three and Four “Hit and the Pick” for much cash!

Especially, from everywhere else in the world, except the United States. People from all over the world, at very young ages, kick the United States’ Butt, and it doesn’t have to be a big country.

The question asked about the disproportionate number of Blacks in the Pool game, but I get accused of making it a race issue, and being a Race-baiter. However, just for reference, in 1966 when Cisero was first allowed to play, the Color line had just been broken in College Football, with Sam the...

I didn’t ignore anything, and I have an understanding of everything that I said, and it was respectfully thought out, before I even made any statements. I was called names, racist, derogatory ones, and I know that you can’t find any comments where I called someone a slur or insulted them...

Telling the truth is not Ripping into people. You need facts and truth in any meaningful conversation. It’s not my responsibility to Sugarcoat the truth, and I didn’t lie on anybody. I love Pool as much as anyone else, and I admired, followed, worshipped, and looked up to the same players that...

Mysteriously to you, Black players grew up idolizing Mosconi, Hoppe, Greenleaf, Buddy, Siegel, Strickland, and others, like Bugs, Rags, Strawberry, and more, but we didn’t say, he’s the “White Champion’, we worshipped and idolized the same players as anyone else. We just understood that if we...

You, calling the Award winning NPR as being a Zoo, says everything about you. You have something against NPR, evidently they are too liberal for you, but you do realize that NPR is among the most popular radio programs in the country, with a network of more than 1,000 public radio stations, and...

I’m not an Animal, Asshole. It’s obvious that you are uncomfortable discussing matters of Race, but keep your ignorant, racist, regencies, to your Damn self, Neanderthal Knuckle-dragger. I don’t need your permission to give my opinion, I spoke about the subject at hand, giving my opinions, but I...

Not because you say so, you can go in the trash with it. Your views aren’t more important than anyone else’s, but facts are true, and Pool has a past that definitely looked at Color and Race. They called it “The Filipino Invasion” when Patrica and Efren came to America, and changed the game...

You did ask how many Black players are playing today. You seem to want to ignore the history of the game. You assumed that the players would be playing, if they were capable of playing, as if no other barriers existed except the will to learn, play, Win, and get Paid.

There is no discrimination or racism, the World is perfect, and America doesn’t need to make any changes. You actually described Golf, as if it is a welcoming Sport! Wow. Yes, Baseball has less American Black players than when Mays and Aaron played. The majority of players of color in Baseball...
