Realistically, what year does this headline happen?

When pool players will stop to gamble and hustle
When tournament organizers will start paying the winning players
When tournament dress code will change to sports wear....
When there won't be 1000000 unions and federations that fight each other
When men tournaments will have a 30 seconds shot clock with no extensions!! (so what if they'll miss sometimes)
When soft breaks will be banned.

Basically, when every single entity that involved in this game (sorry can't really call it a sport yet) will pull their s*&%t together and act as athletes then maybe....

You don't see top golf or tennis players gamble and have "money games" do you?

A few years ago there was an event it Taiwan similar to the Mosconi cup, it was team Taiwan against the rest of the world, the event was sponsored by Puma and all the player were wearing Puma polo shirts.

I guess that in Taiwan they treat billiard as a sport....
 
Ha, one I know the answer to . . . .

comes from an old song.

I disagree with the feeling of the previous posts. I believe it could be relatively soon (though it could be never).

It just won't be an American player marketed in the United States.

Only if Nike starts sponsoring alot of athletes in Asia and the Phillipines will this happen. I cant see it happening in the USA, at least not in my lifetime.
 
I'm gonna pitch this to Nike on Monday....

No clue what year but I can guarantee if it happens it will happen in very early April.
 
When you have to run a 100 yard dash between each shot, and still have to beat the 30 second shot clock. Otherwise there is no need for a running shoe sponsor in pool.

They do a lot of running when playing golf on your planet?

Tiger doesn't run between golf shots. If Nike can make golf balls and have a player endorse the product, making Nike signature cues with the players who have their names on the cues under contract is not that big of a stretch.

True, they do sponsor golf. However, I believe that pro golfers are required to walk the course rather than ride a cart. I can see that sponsorship easier than pool. When was the las time you walked 3 miles while playing a pool match?

Lol like any time I played any kind of lengthy match... you do a lot of walking.
But the other point is that Nike isn't just a shoe company anymore.
and the other thing is I'm sure OP just used Nike as an example... I'm sure he means any major company.
