Rodney shows up in Reno
- Thread starter NYC cue dude
- Start date
There's definitely accountability, he's been banned from all things CSI/Mark Griffin; which is Mark's right to do. Rodney however is free to voice his opinion on things just as everyone here is as well.

There's no reason to believe an apology would or should be accepted. Rodney's only way forward, if he chooses to take that path, is through subjective demonstrations of respect in his professional life. Rodney's way back has no time limit or objective goals. The only measurement that will be applied is that "we will know he has been reformed when we see it". This takes hard work and commitment. A simple apology of "I'm sorry" will not work. IMO, Rodney does not have what it takes, for whatever reasons, to take the necessary path. Instead, he'll take an alternate route that will make matters much worse. Yesterday is an example of that.
I was referring to the part where you said he doesn't care what others think. And, if that is true, he's an idiot. Where does he think sponsors come from??
This thread reminds me of every thread started about Earl after hes done something foolish. There are those who point out what a great player Earl is and what he does for the game. Others point out what an idiot he is for disrespecting the game or an official.
Seems there are always those willing to accept poor attitudes because the individual is too good for the game. Happens in football, baseball, chess, pool or everyday life. Personal responsibility always appears to be the first casualty.

This has crossed my mind...
At first I though no one could be stupid enough to show up at the event after being banned.
And then I though, is Rodney really cagy enough to provoke a civil suite? Is that why he showed up, thinking that CSI would take the bait?
Not sure at this time if his actions were the result of immaturity, or if he is being guided by an attorney.
The following is pure conjuncture: Rodney gets banned and calls his attorney to see if there is any legal recourse. Rodney learns from his attorney that he is out in the dark and there is nothing to substantiate a legal action.
And then Rodney's attorney says, "but you know what you might consider..."
Who knows? .. But you have brought up a very relevant and intriguing point.

I'm pretty sure that CSI leased the space inside the hotel. Those spaces are no longer public. CSI is within its rights to secure their leased areas. Particularly if they have reason to believe that a person is dangerous. His prior statements are very much germane.
I didn't say he didn't care what others think, what I said was I think it's safe to say that what people on here are saying isn't bothering Rodney in the least; which of course is just my opinion.
So you are saying he intended to go to the CSI event just to hang out and watch quietly? Since we are going to extremes now
Possibly (although Rodney did not threatened Mark or CSI with any violent action, he merely expressed his opinion). Simply put, hotel contracts merely place liability on whoever signs.
In terms of public accommodation, it varies by state.
Here, it's very simple:

Beware - Nevada law has protections for "expression" as well as race, religion, etc.
I know someone who sued under similar circumstances. She lost because of her own actions on the premises, but had sufficient grounds to sue, get to court, cost everybody a ton of money etc.

Yeah, it's funny how people call him out for his behaviour, then certain people show up to defend him with bad behaviour. I noticed that somebody claimed to have not said anything bad about Mark.. I mean, that must not include saying that his organization is bad for pool, treats people poorly, etc, "but, don't take it personally!" Is there anything that people can talk about that doesn't get the evil eye from that one?
If he's got the balls to post that stuff on FB and walk into the tournament, he needs to have the balls to accept some damn responsibility for his actions. Hmm.. that seems to be missing out of somebody's arguments each and every time. Wonder why..
I'm going back to talking about league.. at least people are more realistic in those threads!

First, what lawyer's going to take a case from somebody without any income?
Second, he'd have to prove his case.
Third, that would be biting the hand that's feeding quite a few pros.
Lastly, who the hell would want somebody around if they prove themselves to be a huge liability?
It very well could be "Malicious" if some one is intentionally going some where in pursuit of a "Lawsuit" as some have eluded to.
Why go some where that has already said "YOU ARE BANNED" ????
I await your answer to my question!
I am certain what ever the reasons they could have waited till the event was over! Or been handled via phone/text and the individual could have met Rodney at another location!
The Rodney Morris fan club is really ridiculous! Their post show that they do more harm to their friend/ idol then they have done good. Just too DUMBo to realize they are the reason this topic has not been brushed under the rug and remains on the front page of the forum for 3 straight days. You want to help Rodney Morris then stop posting, the forum will lose interest when no one is stirring the pot like his greatest fans!!!!

Hey, is it acceptable for Rodney to post whatever he wants on his personal Facebook page?
I'm not sure that your position on the matter is clear....

Rodney Shows up in Reno...
The title made me think of a song. :grin-square:
Rodney shows up in Reno to play a little Keno.
US Open 10 ball champ did not come there to camp.
The man wants to hold him down and tells him he must turn around.
They all expect him to frown but the smile he wears is his crown.
The fans passing two cents realizing this makes no sense.

I'm not going to respond as you noted. Rodney isn't my friend nor am I a huge fan. I can say this though, i'm not one to jump on the backstabbing bandwagon. Like Earl, if you seen him in person you would have nothing bad to say to his face.
If I were running the event, the law that concerns me is this law:
"NRS 651.070 All persons entitled to equal enjoyment of places of public accommodation. All persons are entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity or expression."
Most places the public has access to are considered public. For example, your home is not public but the restaurant you own is public.
"Expression" - ouch! That is a broad brush.
