No, this is wrong on several levels. Here's two: first off they need the hard core fan base, which would be us, and by extension, our fellow pool players whom we interact with at the pool hall and leagues, but who may not participate in online discussions. Think of us, if you will, as potential ambassadors of all things pool. At the minimum, because we are online, we are also the prime and logical potential PPV audience.
Second, anyone who had thought this halfway through would know that in the event sponsors, TV, or other parties take more than a passing interest in this endeavor they're going to do their due diligence and see what the hard core fan base thinks of the whole idea. And where do you think they're going to look to take the temperature? That's right -- they're going to look right here. And that's why it would have been a good idea to have developed and carefully executed a PR plan to win us all over right from the git-go. That's just being smart.
But somewhat obviously, that's not what's happening.
