Didn’t SVB rake the balls and rage quit some bar table event over some petty BS when playing Deuel? I think most pool players have their moments. I try not to hold it against them.

That I cannot say for sure, but I definitely wouldn't bet against it lol...
Everything in life is a product of its environment, the only difference in anything is to what extreme. Pool players in general are notorious crybabies and move artists. That doesn't necessarily mean in a malicious way, or trying to underhand someone monetarily but if its a person like Shaw or Earl (just to use two names that come up frequently) its all part of what their environment has molded them into. Earl was on top of the world several times, when you reach that point you feel no one has the right to beat you. Shaw is a great player and could have the same mindset, which in the long run never turns out well. Whether its an issue with racking, breaking, throwing tantrums, quitting mid set, stiffing someone, dumping, sandbagging handicaps, sharking...etc it all happens and more often than not you always see the same repeat offenders popping up on the billiard mobile patrol.
Its not just with pool but anything that involves competition. I know less about sports than deano does about posting pics of cues in those mile long ramblings, not throwing him under the bus just stating that's his move. I do however fancy myself a tiny bit knowledgeable in MMA. That being said i'm sure everyone remembers Ronda Rousey's plummet into the abyss after she said Holly didn't have the right to beat her. Well, after she got that ass beat a few times she changed her tune. Jon Jones, repeat offender on the eye pokes. Colby Covington, loud mouth arrogant a$$hole. The Diaz brothers, smoked two joints then smoked two more. Brock Lesnar, not only lame AF but failed more drug tests than hes passed. That doesnt mean theyre bad folks, they just happen to make headlines more than anyone. Its not going to change, ever, as long as society puts drama, misery and discontent on the forefront it will thrive. The media is the biggest for profit group of hate mongers on the planet, do people tune in to see a virtually extinct rhino giving birth to a baby in an attempt to save its species, no they fast forward to race related crimes, disasters and the political outhouse that America has become because that's what draws in ratings. AZB is a media outlet for pool, this thread and myself are prime examples of what make this statement 100% fact. I saw the Jason Shaw classless headline and tuned right in.
$H - gotta get one long post in before the year is over :grin:
