You obviously know very little about this situation. My phone number is listed in my profile, feel free to contact me at any time and I will let you know all that has been done to try and correct this situation. Quite simply,the UPA does not owe Danny money, Brady Behrman does. Brady has publicly and privately acknowldged his mistakes and his regret at the time it has taken to pay Danny. The UPA represented Danny Harriman even though he was not a member of their organization. They even went to court on his behalf. This situation did not get where it is right now because Danny posted on this forum. It is because ciommunication has been re-established between Danny and Brady. The communication is far from perfect and there are several trust issues, but the situation is being handled. You say you don't expect the UPA to respond, but in truth, if they did you would get a view of the entire picture, not just Danny's side of the issue. In speaking with all parties involved, you must understand that everybody has made mistakes (including Danny Harriman) in regards to this issue. As Brady so eloquently pointed out in his post, where were you when his event was being held? Did you support it in any way? If you didn't, then as a fan you remain part of the problem as to why Danny Harriman and many other pros are getting out of the game of pool. There are professional and private issues that have made this situation difficult for all involved. Most are unaware of how this has impacted Danny on all levels. Most people will berate the UPA, yet nobody will call Frank Alvarez and ask him questions. If you did call Frank, you would be more than impressed with his professional repsonse to your questions, and you would be very surprised when you find out that he is also working to find a solution to this issue. You would also find everything that has been done to prevent this from occurring in the future. If you call Brady, he will tell you why he came up short on payment. He will also tell you why it has taken him so long to correct this. He can't pay what he doesnt have, but he IS willing to pay. Once Danny is paid in full, the next step is work on communication between Danny and the UPA to see if we can get him back to the tour. Nobody wants Danny out of pool except the few people that seem to be cheering for him to stay away. I think that is sad considering all the time that has been put in to try and correct this.
