Don't Let The Pool Players Read This

if they didnt make internet gambling illegal in america, pool had a chance to become something again. But that didnt happen, there is little or no hope of any sponsership, organization(on a national/global) level, so it will be what it is. A game played in bars, the pool room here and there with a local tournment that is used to promote the venue where it happens and a casino for the same self promoting reasons. It will also be used as a game for people to gamble on. It wont hit the world stage, the Mosconi Cup is a TV show once a year. To bad.
 
I believe exposure for any cuesport is good for all cuesports

The government has really hurt players worldwide, removing tobacco sponsorship in the uk and internet gambling in the us respectively

It's not enough that cuesports have an uphill battle as is competing against 10 zillion other forms of entertainment but to have big brother deal these types of completely arbitrary and unfair blows is simply crushing
 
In England we see lots of snooker on National TV and its watched by all ages..very popular. But they havent managed to get Pool on the Terrestial channels which are still bigger than satelite here so its not picking up as fast as it could . Even the Mosconi doesnt do as well as it could being on Sky tv.
