Your prerogative not to like these posts, but it’s my prerogative to post. Don’t like it? Then move on.I'm so tired of every post regarding pool not being broadcast 24/7. Unfortunately, the world doesn't like pool as much as people who love pool. Go figure. Please stop whining. Thanks in advance.

You mean there's no pickleball bums or shifty courtside pickleball hustlers??Pickleball is becoming very popular. Many tennis clubs are replacing a tennis court or two with pickleball courts, and a lot of public parks are making room for them also. Older tennis players who can no longer cover the standard tennis court area, those with shoulder/arm issues, and those who's reflexes have slowed find the game a perfect replacement.
Pool has always attracted too many individuals who tarnish it's image, still does.
The pool hall closest to my house closed earlier this year.
What went in its place?
A fencing club. Like sword fighting fencing.
Replaced

I could care less about the posts. Want to watch pool? YouTube.
Want to complain about what's airing on ESPN? Jump on their blog. Or become the programming director at ESPN.
The movie theatre isn't showing the most recent Star Wars. Maybe you could create a thread about that as well. I really like Star Wars.
The game has actually been around a LONG time but has really exploded in last 8-9yrs. They are far more organized than many may realize. Equipment is cheap, games go quick, and court-time is usually free so its an easy sell to the public.https://www.usapa.org/what-is-pickleball/
Hey look at that. Another fringe sport that also has an association that sets rules and guidelines and also works to promote the game. Maybe one day we can get one of these, instead of whining on message boards that ESPN made a mean face at pool.
