Its been a while since I have posted anything. I have been off the forum for a while and completely out of the pool loop. When I came back to the forum the other day everything appears to be normal: players getting stiffed, rooms closing, the poor state of pro pool, bonus ball etc. etc.
After reading a few threads about the sad state of pro pool and the ambivalent attitudes folks have about bonus ball confirms something I have believed for years: POOL IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT and it never will be. Lets face it pool is horrible t.v. that nobody not even pool fans are going to buy.
The only people making serious money off of pool are the leagues and suppliers. I say all of this to encourage anyone who wants to "promote" pool to invest their time and money in to bringing in more players of pool and not more spectators of pool.
