I didn't mean to suggest you were. His dad got a little upset recently and I was just using that as an example.
My apologies

No apologies necessary.
If the shoe fits...
I'm just amazed at what some of these people say. Especially if they come off like total trash, to people just commenting. Not even being mean.
Just having conversations.
It's the world we live in, look at all the kids of celebrities that have ZERO talent or ZERO relevance that are now ""influencers"" w millions of young followers for no earthly reason other than their parents are famous! If your dad isn't Ernesto or Stan Shuffet I could give two shits what they have to say because it's not gonna be relevant to professional pool. If your parents own a pall hall I would somewhat care but if they didn't have previous involvement with amateur/pro pool before their kid was born who cares!
Good looking with pizazz'll do it.
I played high school tennis and only lost one match my senior year (14-1). In many matches my opponents called anything close that I hit Out! It only made me more determined to crush them. And I did!
I also umped Little League baseball for several years. I loved the kids but it seemed like in every game there were parents out to get me, especially when I was behind the plate. I actually threw one parent out of the game (banned from the spectator area) after he stood behind the home plate screen and yelled at me on every pitch. After a few years of that I gave up my part time (weekends) gig.

Agassi's dad was a former Syrian pro boxer. He was an aggressive guy by nature and just had a one track mind in terms of how far he would push people including his own son and how far he would be pushed by others.
