Pool Media, Broadcasters, and Live Streamers

I guess it's not enough these days to just ignore a-holes. Or tell them directly what you think. The digital crowd can't just see it for what it is and move on. They have to tell everyone about it. Then tell us what it means to them. Then why it means this to them. Then they hope we can all get in a drum circle and talk about it some more. And this time we don't even know what was said and why. Funny stuff.

If what you are saying is true, and I don't doubt it is, and you were really offended by it then do something. Complaining about it on a separate message board seems like pretty limp effort to accomplish anything other than getting your hand held and your belly rubbed.

Call the schmuck out. You know you saved a copy of the message.

I am going to do something about it.

And I am damn pissed about it and will write whatever the heck I want on this forum.
I don't have to publish his name in the public forum, but I will contact the powers-that-be about his vulgarity in public.

If a pro pool player wrote words such as this person's, this entire forum would be in an uproar, ripping that pro pool player apart about how they're representing pool in a bad way with their vulgarity.

You don't need to rub my belly or tickle the trout, as Doug G. would say. I made this thread because of the double standards there are today in pool.

I could go on about other double standards in pool, like how women are treated in the pool world compared to men. Folks may believe times have changed, but they haven't in USA. Elsewhere in the world, women pros are treated with respect and dignity and not gawked at like a piece of meat. Their talent is what is showcased.

I won't let this Grinch steal my Christmas . Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all.

What about players who are know to do drugs, excessive alcohol, gambling, etc.?

If they represent a sponsor, if a sponsor is paying them money and/or product, this is wrong.

Personally, those who are independent and pay their own way, they are entitled to live their own lifestyle.

Those who are paid or representing a billiard entity should be held to a different standard.

Does that answer your question, Jason?

Tickle the trout? Damn that’s funny!

Merry Christmas to you and you’re family.
 
Of course it is. Not really hidden though for people who have been around pool a long time. It was responded to with class by the intended target too.

I've been around pool a long time. And I've been around this forum a long time.

Meanwhile, at the pool room or at tournament venues, those who like to instigate on this pool forum are congregating in the corner, watching and listening, and hanging onto every word spoken by the pool player, the same pool player they enjoy slamming on this forum. :grin-square:

It's okay, though. In the end, I kind of feel sorry for folks like this. Hurt people hurt people.

I was always told when I was young to be careful, "misery loves company"

Merry Christmas Jam................

Great answer!

I just hate that we live in a country where every time somebody does something wrong, people try to get them to lose their jobs. That goes for any job, not just the mostest super importantest job ever of commentating on a pool match that 37 people will see.

Tell the guy what you think and block him. Tell everybody here if you want, but try to get the guy fired for something non work related?

If he did it while on the Air, then have at it.
JMHO.

Hey everybody! Jam's upset..let's go into the Long Branch, buy lots of drinks, get a mob worked up, then go lynch that bastid who upset her!

Oh wait..these days we use the net for that purpose.
 
There is some good ones but there is a bunch that are foul flakes just like there is barefoot arshhat players that smell of body odor and crap out both ends..

Yes you have and a lot of us respect you for that too.

Merry Christmas to you and Kieth:thumbup:

Well that's a nice cha cha however if they are displaying that conduct in a tourney that is sponsored they should be held to a standard and that should not be limited to actions only at the event ,, in football they call that conduct detrimental to the NFL it really makes no difference if they are paid or not the second the enter they should be held to the standard

My potential outrage is completely dependent upon which side of the shut down issue he was on. If he was talking about Schumer and Pelosi I don't think the English language has adjectives I would consider too vulgar, even slang expressions.

I like to cha-cha. In fact, I like to dance, and I'm pretty good at it. Always have been.

A pool player who pays his or her own way is entitled to their lifestyle, especially when the entire audience surrounds his table every time he shoots.

Let's just put the cards on the table instead of doing the cha-cha. The post was directed at my husband, Keith McCready. The person who made the post has been tail-gating me on this forum for years now. Most times, I do ignore it and consider the source. In fact, I received three PMs about this thread, about that person's post, letting me know what they thought of that member. I also received a couple PMs from those who wanted to know who it was I was writing about. This little thread generated quite a fuss. I should know better than to post on AzBilliards. Not sure why I do anymore. I like the news page, but the Discussion Forum has deteriorated over the years as far as content in my opinion.

Rip me apart if you don't like me or my words, but do not go after my other half for the sole reason to attack me. This is, in my opinion, troll-like, but that is what this member does to me and every single thing I write on this forum. Sadly, this forum has a couple members like this that seem to get pleasure when they go after others on threads, mocking their words, ridiculing their opinions and thoughts. It's not just me on the receiving end, sad to say. I read it happening to others too by the same members.

So you can support the troll in his endeavor to write a cryptic post against my other half, and I will be careful when responding to your posts in the future.

What a great way to start my Christmas morning. Thank you for the holiday cheer.
