Earl in HOF what a joke

Byrne went in for industry service not playing ability and does deserve to be there. Dodson also deserves to be in. Earl never had a fair shake at getting in the last couple of times he was on the ballot. There was always two men and one woman on the ballot. I feel that many businesses are owned by women. Also many businesses let women handle the bills and mail. So as long as there is a woman on the ballot she will probably get the most votes. It was an all male ballot this year and Earl is in. Give a all female ballot when they want to induct a woman and the ballot will be fair. Give a all male ballot when inducting a male and the ballot will be fair. I asked my daughter and wife who they would vote for on various ballots with a woman and two men on it and they always chose the woman. Then you have the other part of the vote split between the two men. The woman will probably win everytime with todays BCA voting members. I would suggest they have two ballots one male and one female and bring in one of each on years that they don't have a service category. On the years they have a service category have a all male ballot as the list of male world champions not in yet is pretty long.

TAP TAP TAP: you go earl!!!! yes he should been in long ago, he ic the mahomi ali of pool , flot like a butterfly, sting like a bee. you the man!!!!
 
Lets not forget about Allen Hopkins who I think should have been in the Hall of Fame 10 years ago.
 
Earl being inducted is fine he's earned it. Complaining about the politics involved in the BCA selection process is fine they've earned the criticism perhaps. BUT WHY THE H3LL ARE DODSON AND BYRNES BEING ATTACKED!
They too earned induction.:confused:
EL' nino I can't even say what you are, I'd get my first warning (but it start with M and ends with N and has a R in the middle).:rolleyes:

:cool: I'll tell you one reason. Because you can go into a pool shop in a city in Northern China (where theres only one american) and buy Robert Byrnes instructional pool vcds and pool trick shots vcds and take them home to watch. Earl never made it this far. Thats fame. :cool:

Let me tell you, Earl is a celebrity anywhere in Asia. I'll guarantee you if you ask who Earl Strickland is, and who Robert Byrnes is... in China, The U.S., England, Africa, Italy, Sweden, or any other country....Earl wins the contest everytime. Period.

THAT is fame......and fact.

Don't kid yourself.

I know a lot of Phillipinos locally who also count Earl Strickland amongst their favourite players.Of course they love Reyes more, however,they totally respect Earl's game and accompishments.They appreciate good pool and Earl has provided that for sure.

Efren Reyes even said that Earl was the only player he(probably in nine ball) feared.I'm sure he respected many other players as well ,however,paying Earl that kind of verbal respect says a lot.
