Jennifer Chen has a major attitude problem.

Rickw said:First of all, I think Jeanette Lee is a wonderful amassador for the sport of pool! She looks good, she plays real good and she has overcome major obstacles to have achieved what she has in pool. Typical behavior for Gremlin is to demean a couple of people, Jeanette and the guy in the photo, and then bail. Way to go Grem! Just keep the pics coming please!
As to the comparison of how pool is depicted on TV in different countries, this is a difficult comparison considereing we have so many televised sports in this country. How many on this board would probably watch the Super Bowl over the US Open and we're pool FANatics? I think if there were fewer sports to watch in the US, people might spend more time watching pool more, they might even get interested in the skills that players have as well. I love to watch boxing and I would much rather see two fighters with great skills fighting a chess-match type fight that goes for 12 rounds than watch a bloodfest/knockout because I love to watch two people at the top of their game using all their skills in an attempt to win a tough battle. People in the US just have too many other options to invest the time to watch pool enough to get hooked on the inticracies of the game.
Gremlin said:Unlike your clone SJM I totally disagree with your poorly conceived, condescending, assessment of why people don’t watch pool. The first and most important reason is they have no time. The second is they have no idea it is broadcast because of poor advertising. The third is thanks to the economy a family of 4 has to spend more than 40 hours a week to survive and they have less time for recreation.
Miss Q said:Jeanette Lee is a great pool player. I don't think that many people would argue that fact. But...
I am up late working tonight and I have a tape of the 2004 Brunswick Delta Classic on in the background. Jeanette just beat Karen Corr 7-4...I have seen both players play better, but that is not what I noticed the most. After Jeanette pocketed the winning 9-ball, instead of going over and shaking Karen's hand, she marched right over to the t.v. camera and celebrated, saying hello to various family members, cheering herself on, and pumping her fist. Then she faced the crowd and received their congratulations. By the time she finally went over to shake Karen's hand, Karen had already packed up her cues and didn't even bother to get off of her chair to shake Jeanette's hand.
In summary...I do not think that Jeanette behaving in such a manner is good for the game. No matter how well or how poorly she played, she should not have disrespected her opponent (especially a class act like Karen Corr) because she was too busy working the crowd.
Nuff said.
Gremlin said:landshark77,
Studies done? How many people? I have no idea what SGMA is or means.
Gremlin said:Fact is the Government HEW stats say something completely different about the American Working People and so do the poolroom owners. As for the added TV hours, if they had a hunderd and sixety four no one looks at it. Only pool players! Where did you get that worthless rating from. It's as phony as the sanction rule.
U.S. POPClock Projection
According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the resident population of the United States, projected to 01/31/05 at 04:19 GMT (EST+5) is
242,443,420
COMPONENT SETTINGS
One birth every.................................. 8 seconds
One death every.................................. 12 seconds
One international migrant (net) every............ 26 seconds
Net gain of one person every..................... 12 seconds
Hey, 242,443,420 Americans if 40,000,000 of them play pool like the BCA says that leaves 202,443,420 Americans left. 431,161 homes is minute, infinitesimal means nothing. I don't believe the ESPN figures either. I can count so read the stats. The fact is the information the BCA, SGMA, and ESPN
is feeding you is false.
Gremlin said:No pool isn't a sport until the IOC accepts it as a sport. It's a game of chance played between two gamblers or two tournament players or two friends.
"Gremlin"
Gremlin said:Hello Rickw,
Your biased and in accurate comments force me to type a comment here which is a waste of my valuable time. First of all I am not a “Black Widow” fan as typed in my original post. There is a time and a place for carnival antics and that close to Kim wasn’t the time and the place for it.
I did not demean anyone, they did that to themselves, as the photo demonstrates. I am well aware of Jeanette Lee’s history and I respect her efforts but I am not her fan. Many other people have inspired my life and Jeanette Lee isn’t one of them. The Jeanette Lee show for a
reported $8,000 a show only benefits Jeanette Lee. A poolroom owner has to sell a lot of table time, food, drinks to have her around? She is supposed to have been in DC or will be but I won’t be there.
Unlike your clone SJM I totally disagree with your poorly conceived, condescending, assessment of why people don’t watch pool. The first and most important reason is they have no time. The second is they have no idea it is broadcast because of poor advertising. The third is thanks to the economy a family of 4 has to spend more than 40 hours a week to survive and they have less time for recreation. As for the photos here is the final 9-Ball of the tournament and Allison became tournament champion. I am not her fan either but it made me very happy. Jeanette second, Jeniffer Chen third.

STR1PES said:I think Jeanette should change her high five celebration to the Hiney Spank they do in football, thats how they should congratulate each other,....... but only for the womens association.
Tbeaux said:Jeanette probably wouldn't take part as she deals with a great deal of back pain.
STR1PES said:So she high fives when she wins. That's emotion, pool players should be able to display it no matter if they are Professionals, Amateurs, or just casual players. Now yes You would think that she would at least shake hands or somthing after a win, but if she doesn't what does it matter. It isn't like she is running around the table after every game and saying, you suck.
STR1PES said:That's Ok, maybe I should change that from a Hiney Spank to a Message celebration. Right after she wins she strips down(in a changing booth of course), gets thrown a towel, walks out and lays on the pool table and the loser has to give her a 5 minute message while televised.
