Really,they have already changed. I was thinking about how pool was years ago,
and how people that didn't even play, knew of a few pool players, Miz, Mosconi
Fats, etc. Most people also knew the top players in a lot of sports, Golf, everyone
knew of Jack, Lee, Arnold, Gary Player, Ray Tom Watson and on and on.The
same with Tennis, McEnroe,Borg,Conners, Boxing,We knew the champions and
contenders in almost every division, Football, Baseball, Basketball. So I asked
people I work with if they could tell me the name of a current champion in any
sport, any sport. ZERO. Tiger Woods and the Williams sisters was the best any
could do. Most could not name one current baseball player, didn't know who won
the World Series, or even the Super Bowl for crying out loud. Some of them were
young, and have other interests, but quite a few were grown,with grown kids. It's
no surprise that pool has declined, But then I though, I can't name but a couple of
top tennis players (and have to really think about it) Boxing, Zilch, Golf, a few but
not many, and the same with all the others. Well I have so many things going on
now that I just don't keep up with sports like I used to. Well my parents had just
as much going on if not more but my Dad knew all about all sports,and my Mom
even knew quite a bit. We are raising our grandson,and I tell him all these stories
and the things we did and he just looks at me. I guess years from now he can
tell his grand kids,one time I killed fifty Zombies in one game.
