I understand why ESPN airs so much women's pool-- non-players like to watch the women play-- but to show one of them playing rather than showing a highly-anticipated match between two men on the live-stream is ridiculous. Pool players want to watch the men play!
(Well, I do like to watch the women to gauge how far I have to go
)
I am very surprised to hear how slow the play went.
The times I had seen Jeanette Lee playing, it was a normal pace; in fact, much faster than many of the high-profile male pros who shall remain unnamed. We all know who they are.
The crowd is usually pulling for Jeanette, and she plays to the audience. There is nothing wrong with that. I think she's good for pool when she gets the audience involved.
That said, I did not see this match with Dave Hemmah, but you never know what's going on behind the scenes. Maybe she was in pain with her back. Maybe she was experiencing other problems which none of us know about.
I don't follow Jeanette Lee very often, but the times I have had the privilege to see her play, I was very, very impressed. She's a very talented player. I like the fact that she is a GOOD pool player, as well as a very pretty lady!
I always liked her style of play and I too think she was good for pool, but this was way over the top. repeat, way over the top. It was like watching a high school girl flirting and trying for attention. Johnnyt
I heard it through the grapevine that, in order for her to compete at Allen Hopkins' Skins Billiards Championship one year, she had a hefty appearance fee just to show up, win or lose. She never did compete on the Skins Billiards Championship, unfortunately. :sorry:
Maybe she is receiving compensation from Dragon on a per-minute basis while she's on camera.
