The WPA has at least accomplished things as a sanctioning body that the UPA has not even come close to...bringing in some real sponsors and holding events that have media coverage and a decent payout. For that they should be given credit. I think the problem is not necessarily that the WPA is not a good pool organization but that their press release on this matter was poorly written and it should have been self evident before that person clicked "Send" that the words he chose were very inflammatory and ill chosen.
I mean cmon, anyone of the WPA champions would be the first to tell you that Sigel, Buddy, Lassiter, Hopkins and alot more can be fairly characterized as World Champions. If they try to tell anyone with a lick of pool sense otherwise, then they are just not credible.
That press release doesnt meet the straight face test imo. If you can't say it without laughing some, then its time to push delete instead of send.
