If pool is dying, why are there so many table manufacturers outside of the US selling tables everywhere around the world, and in the US as well? Thats what people fail to understand, America is not the dipstick with which to measure the growth of pool worldwide, which has become even more clear when the only American Professional pool player that can compete on the world stage is SVB, what a shame more American Pro's can't step up to the plate, and compete like Shane does!
I travel all over the world and never seen a pool room. By the train stations in Europe they all disappeared in the past 15 years. In Tokyo I did fall across one very nice room. Went to a few small rooms between Osaka and Tokyo.
You're not going to the right places then, Moscow has over 200 Diamond tables, 7, 9, and 10fts. Croatia has at least one pool room with 18 9ft Diamond tables in it, I know, I sold them their tables. Just like a person who's never seen a million in cash, that don't mean a million in cash don't exist, because YOU have seen it, and know it DOES exist.
Boxing is not quite dead yet . Boxers still make a lot more money than MMA'rs.
I agree I do need to visit Moscow.

Are you jealous or suprised? If pool was to be picked to be in the Olympics, WHO would be picking the players, what would the qualifications be, how many players from each country, what RULES would be used, WHICH game would be played, men's, women's, mixed doubles, teams????Breaking News for Paris 2024 Olympics.
Breakdancing (yes, breakdancing) in, baseball, softball, karate out for 2024 Paris Olympics
As organizers try to get younger athletes and younger viewers interested, sports such as breakdancing are getting a chance at Olympic glory.www.usatoday.com
So you're a reporter now? Who do you work for? Even Stevie Wonder can see what you're really pointing out, as you have done many times in the past!
Or maybe you're just full of good old BS! This is a pool forum, why on earth would anyone here give 2 sh#ts about break dancing in the 2024 Olympics in Paris??? Should they start reserving their seats now, seeing how you feel its IMPORTANT to report it now!!?
And the purpose of that is what??You seem very angry?
Breakdancing in my eyes is not a comparative sport, but is not my decision to add, or subtract events from Olympics. That is decision of IOC. Maybe someone with big bucks in Breakdancing community paid off the IOC to add Breakdancing.
In 2024 we should have idea if Breakdancing is anything. Two good indicators will be number of Countries sending Breakdancing teams to compete, and number of seats sold to watch the Breakdancing competition in Paris.
What does anyone that plays pool care about if break dancing is in the 2024 Olympics? Am I missing something here?You seem very angry?

I think its clear to everyone you don't work for the Olympics, and of course everyone knows you don't have any decision making responsibilities for the Olympics, so, why the need to point out that you have nothing to do with the Olympics, but then throw in "but we'll see" into your conversation, why? Again, who cares? This is a pool forum, not the Olympics committee!!You seem very angry?
