Short answer...YES
This isn't the first thread started by people getting worked up that cornhole is on ESPN and pool isn't.
ESPN has also had E-league, Madden, paintball, competitive eating, bowling trick shots (in case regular bowling just doesn't do it for you), dog agility, and probably a dozen other one-off events.
Look at all of the threads on here talking about "what's wrong with pro-pool" and "why doesn't pro-pool have more sponsors." It's obvious that there are a lot of problems with pool at the pro level. Hell, we can't even define was a "pro player" is! Until the sport can be cleaned up internally (meaning an organized professional level), there's no use discussing why pool isn't on TV.
