I think half this forum is delusional.....Shane McMinn let Banks jr shoot a shot that he was at least 90% favorite to make....everyone knows the rest after that....

Ping Pong will pay more than pool forever if even the fans believe what happened in olathe was okay....don't kid yourselves if truly deep down tell yourself what happened there was okay...then you are a person with no values at all or ethics........

It makes me sick that a great pool player can never make a living because pool is looked down upon because of these things that occassionally happen and look so terrible....

How many threads are you going to start on the same friggin topic? It's over, Jamie - go on with your life. You made a lot of noise before this event and you were annoying. Its said and done and you are just as annoying now. You're upset. We get it. Now go away.

PS: If you can't make money at pool, I hear that they are hiring down at Taco Bell. Grab an application and let us know how it goes!

WOW! :eek:

Jaime,
I disagree on "half this forum is delusional". Just because someone doesn't agree with you or see things as you do (from your perspective), that doesn't make mean someone is "delusional", it means they see things from another perspective.

I would say that most everybody on this forum is a real lover of our great sport, or we wouldn't waste out time being here. If another fan disagrees, the way to get them to see things from your perspective is not to insult or get all bent out of shape. I think Blackjack nicely turned the tables on you so you can see how you're coming off at times.

I know you love pool. A lot. But I think you may want to learn a new tune. We all know the old one by heart.

Speaking of "tunes", an older fellow with the Rolling Stones once sang a song that included the time honored lyrics of "....you can't always get what you want"
 
lol

no because you would only be able to play in ohio, on a tuesday, but it has to be partly cloudy outside, and if the mailman has already come, you have to wait until tomorrow, which is not tuesday sooo you would have to wait another week, but then you could only use the black side of your paddle, but wait you only brought you red on red paddle, so you would have to goto the store only to find out that they are all sold out soo now your just out of luck.

Contrary to what many others apparently believe, I do not think that pool's relative unpopularity is due to a bad image. Look at the most popular sports in this country; football, baseball, basketball, NASCAR, maybe boxing (not as popular as it once was, but can still command big bucks for premium fights).

Baseball is tainted by steroid use. Basketball has had brawls in recent years, and now has a referee scandal on its hands. NASCAR drivers are constantly getting into battles on and off the track, accusing one another of cheating, while cars are also failing inspections. Football has Michael Vick, Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, Ricky Williams and all kinds of shady characters, and is still far and away the most popular sport in America. And what can we say about boxing? It has been tarnished by scandals its entire history, with also the occasional biting of an ear.

While these issues have dampened the enthusiasm among some fans and undermined the popularity of these sports to some degree, they are still huge money makers and still far and away the most popular sports in this country.

The sad fact of the matter is, I am afraid to say, that in today's society and culture, the sport of pocket billiards simply does not appeal to the tastes of the majority of American sports fans. It's too subtle, and frankly too mysterious for most of them to understand or appreciate, and it doesn't have the action and frenzy and excitement, for the majority of sports fans, that the big-time sports have.

The days in which a sport that is as cerebral, subtle, and beautiful, as pool is can appeal to the masses are long gone. That is why there is no huge fan base in pool, and that is why there is no money in pool (at least in the U.S.).

Does anyone know if AZB will institute an "ignore" feature? I have a target in mind for my first ignore.

EDIT: Oops, I meant to start this as a new thread. I assure you my comments have nothing to do with this particular thread starter. Seriously, it doesn't...I mean it...quit laughing man, I truly mean it.
