WADA is a out of control and has no oversight. It’s the worst. In theory their intent is cool, in practice it’s a bunch of power drunk people out of control wielding their authority in a bad way.

Yes. There's no reason for the WPA to apply WADA testing to non-Olympic events (which means nothing until 2036 if ever). Pro skateboarder and snowboarders (two popular Olympic sports) only apply WADA for Olympic national qualifiers and the Olympics themselves.

The Europeans are addicted to WADA, as they sit there and drink their gin and destroy their livers they also destroy athletes careers

Really I assume they partnered with Aramith to make the balls and if they publicly backpedal in an official way they might either (A) be in breach of contract, (B) be at risk of litigation from Amaith somehow for damaging their sales, (C) have their own investment in the product they want to recoup before going back to the lab, or (D) just don’t want to risk a bad reputation as an industry partner.

I imagine they will truly acknowledge and address it only after the initial decision has run its course and then they’ll later swoop in with exciting news about how they care and listen. Until them, I think it’s reasonable for the community that finds the purple 5 distasteful to continue to express their opinion and not let them off the hook.

On the cloth colour, I see the ball colors must work out, Be excepted, MR is in charge of the event and we do have the events. Must be right... Guy

Man I sure hope that don't happen to Darren, Darren works hard in his job and puts in many hours. Also manages to shoot a good game... For years now I've been calling Darren the Bulldog for a good reason, He don't like to give up... I see Darren as a credit to the English pocket pool players... Guy

I’ve know him since 07, he’s got heart and fight! I was lucky enough to be at his HOF dinner a few years ago in Vegas. Great guy, he’ll be just fine. 🙏🏼💪😃

I'm really tiring of reading this fiction.

It is the sole domain of WPA to give sanctioning and the date protection that comes with it to event producers. Matchroom has a constraint that CSI doesn't because they can't just request and get any TV dates they want on Sky Sports. They must choose from the air dates made available to them and the enhanced schedule has forced them to make some tough decisions. In one, not multiple cases, they requested sanctioning of an event for dates that Predator also wanted, and WPA made the unique and, to my knowledge, unprecedented decision to grant both sanctioning for those dates.

That said, Emily openly acknowledged that given the increasing number of events, schedule clashes are sure to be in play at times but dealing with them will be the ultimate responsibility of WPA, not Matchroom or Predator.

It is not the responsibility of Predator to schedule around Matchroom nor is it the responsibility of Matchroom to schedule around Predator when it comes to sanctioned events. All that said, worldwide sanctioning and the maintenance of the world pool calendar have never been more difficult than now and the WPA will have to rise to the challenge in the management and administration of these busy times for pool.

Stu the WPA ( WPBA ) Being a non-profit organization will this have to see changes to adjust to the events to come ... Guy

I thought I would voice my opinion since it was mentioned by the interviewer that social media apparently is being noticed. So, in my opinion, pool/billiard cloth is GREEN, period. (blue looks like Harbor Freight blue tarps), The 5-ball is ORANGE, period! Don’t mess with traditional pool/billiards, Mosconi would be appalled. 4 inch pockets would kill me, but I am not a pro, just a guy who loves pool and billiards . . . and watches a lot of this sport on TV (advertisers take notice)

Yes, you have absolutely nothing to substantiate your theory. Matchroom is branding themselves by changing the ball colors? Have you noticed the gigantic Matchroom banners surrounding the table?

Yes the massive banners that you don't see when they are focusing on the table...lol. You're funny. So yes I think they are branding themselves with the ball/cloth colours. At any point throughout the match you know it's a Matchroom production. Hold on, I've got the feeling that pictures might help you out.

Name the following productions:

So, your option is that what, 90% of all Matchroom viewers are pleased with this change? 99%? 51%?
I think not, your xenophobic worldview not withstanding

My opinion is that Matchroom couldn't care less about the tiny minority on AZB that are stomping their feet. Do you think those who aren't on AZB posting with tissues in hand are writting scathing emails to Matchroom...?....lol

You think its only here?
The complaints about the shitty ball set are on every Matchroom post. Facebook, instagram, you tube, and whatever else they promote on. Az is nothing in the pool world these day's. There are 100x the comments on most facebook posts about the purple 5 ball than here. Look at most of the youtube videos that they haven't scrubbed and the comments are brutal. you think she knows about all the hate because of a couple of posts on here?
 
Meanwhile, the opposite "message" spreads:

freebeacon.com

Yes, Safe Smoking Kits Include Free Crack Pipes. We Know Because We Got Them.

Crack pipes are distributed in safe-smoking kits up and down the East Coast, raising questions about the Biden administration's assertion that its multimillion-dollar harm reduction grant program wouldn't funnel taxpayer dollars to drug paraphernalia.

Gee, I wonder if the kids are confused by the insane adults?
