ABP boycotts Berhman's event

I'll go along with that, as well.
Although I support some of your goals, I think you pros are shooting yourselves in the foot with this boycott. Without support from the pros, Barry may very well decide to cancel the US Open next year. Find a way to work out your differences without resorting to a destructive boycott.
BTW, with multiple players using the ABPpros account, you folks would have more credibility if you would identify yourselves in each posting. Does Shawn speak for Johnny? I certainly hope not. Please identify yourselves when you post.

that might be the dumbest thing i have ever heard. although this is not golf or basketball but imagine if Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and 40 more top golfers decide NOT to play in their US Open don't you think it WOULD effect the tournament. TV ratings, Sponsors, fan support. think before you act
This is the same guy who was on last night who wouldn't say his name. Whoever you are, you are making a bad name for the rest of the organization and aren't even man enough to say who you are. That's pretty sad.
Mike Janis should be added to Maxim ban list too. He could best a lot of those names on the list.
I agree, we'd really like to know who is making posts for the ABP.
playing pool is Rodney's job. the only way he can get paid is to beat the best players in the world. he paid at least 2000 dollars to go to that event. he only got his 2000 dollars back. but he had to wait for his money. everybody in this world isn't rich like you so we have to do the best we can. barry bearman wouldn't let Rodney pay his entry fee with a post dated check nor would the airlines. hotels. etc. So why should he have to receive one?
my name is Johnny Archer. President of the ABP. Now what is your name?
My name is very clearly stated on every post I make. brandoncook26 = Brandon Cook.
Johnny, did you make the posts last night refusing to state your name? I don't believe it was you because you were with Putnam. I just want to know who made the posts last night before Shawn got on. The structure of this account is a bad idea for your organization if the person is not willing to put their name. It paints everyone in the same light instead of providing an opinion of one person.
If you didn't make the posts last night, I apologize for earlier stating you are making a bad name; someone however is burning some bridges anonymously.
Tiger and Phil are replaceable too! The difference is that one of those two guys understood that.
Hi Brandon. I did not make the posts last night. I don't know what was said. With everything going on everybody on our side is on edge. Things will probably get said from emotion. This problem with barry Bearman has been going on for a very long time. The ABP has been in talks with Barry for 14 months. The ABP did not ask for this. Your apology is accepted. THANKS
Is the ABP going to play in an unseeded tournament like the $25,000 Joss Turning Stone event?

In a nutshell:
Because, in America, both the pros and the promoters of our sport have not done enough to secure meaningful sponsorships so there could be enough money to go around.
I know that Mr. Behrman can be a p-r-i-c-k-l-y personality but, if your only real beef with him is that he doesn't pay everyone on the spot, then you may have picked a tough first battle.
I wish you guys good luck in finding a resolution. And that you can put together a workable plan for some long term progress. The US Open wouldn't be the same without having most of the players on your list competing in it.
And for the record, I think the vast majority of AZ members are great fans. They, and myself included, aren't wallflowers, though, and therefore are never shy to share an opinion. :thumbup:
Best,

Johnny,
If you don't know what other ABPpros posters are posting, then you are losing control of the unified message that you're trying to make. Does Shawn speak for you? Does anyone else speak for you? I certainly hope not.
IMO, everyone using the ABPpros account must identify themselves. Better yet, there should be just one person using this account, preferably you. If other ABP pros have something to say, then they can say it using their own AZB account.
