Do You Wish to Stake a Pro at Derby City?

[JAM]

Didn't Jerry Forsyth start this thread? I wouldn't exactly say he was begging or has no pride.....who's begging anyway?

Who are these mysterious Pros that beg, dump and have no pride?

Do they really exist?

Do they have names?

Are they like "Santa Claus" and ride flying pool tables from tournament to tournament?

Thanks for the morning chuckle. That tickled my funny bone. :grin:

Jerry Forsyth had good intentions starting this thread. He just had a recent interview with Greg Sullivan, which is now on the AzBilliards News page. Greg wants to have his events well attended by players of all caliber, to include the pros. He gives out perks to many players, knowing how difficult it is financially for a full-time pool player to attend all events in the year. That's how Greg Sullivan rolls.

My opinion -- and this is only my opinion -- is that this thread was just one avenue of a way to help a pro player make it to the upcoming DCC. Unfortunately, I don't think Greg Sullivan realizes how much hatred there is for professional pool players on AzBilliards Discussion Forum. :sorry:

Asking for sponsorship on this forum is not always a bad idea. Let's not forget about John Schmidt winning the U.S. Open. How did he get there? AzBilliards sponsorship. So that was a good one.

Then we have James Waldon's girlfriend coming on this forum pretending to be James. That didn't end well.

We all remember the bad things, but there are some good stories about sponsorship on AzBilliards.

It's okay to hate on the pro players, but as it pertains to this thread, they didn't come on here asking for sponsorship. The intention of this thread is a good one, and anything that can make the Derby City Classic grow and be the best that it can be, I'm all for it. That is what this thread is all about.

And then there was the Player just previous to this one that had his friend log in under his name and pretend to be him, asking for 2400.

Jen, it was crap like this that ruins it for the good guys. After a few of these threads, it is very hard to tell who is the good guy and who is the bad one.

People say, screw it, not worth the hassle.

Nothing wrong with a leg up but when a person doesn't know when they are getting track laid on them, its big cluster, you know what.

So, who is to blame?
