What are your thoughts on a person representing the media or a live streamer or a broadcaster expressing their thoughts in public, in writing such as Facebook or AzBilliards, about politics using vulgar profanity?
People are quick to judge pro pool players for the way they dress, act, walk, and talk, but should the pool media, broadcasters, and live streamers be held to a standard as well?
I recently deleted a post on my Facebook page about the government shutdown, not because of the variety of opinions expressed. I'm okay with that. I'm used to it, actually, living in D.C. But it was one representative of the pool media, broadcaster, or live streamer that used vulgar language to express his opinion on my thread, which made me delete it. I was ashamed of the thread after this person wrote their opinion using such vulgarity.
I will never, ever watch a live stream, read an article, or listen to any broadcast if this person is involved. I used to work graveyard shift in a pool room, so I'm used to the jargon that you hear in a pool room. Heck, I've been known to throw a few curse words out there myself.
What do you think about these folks—pool media, broadcaster, live streamer—being vulgar in public and/or in writing?
