Streaming Players & Problems

As a player myself and not classified as a pro but a pretty top notch player. I don't think players playing on a stream feed should be paid at all for the exposure. Pool is not as big as football, baseball, basketball, or even hockey. The game does not generate no where near enough money from sponsors to pay players in such a manner imo. My question is, whatever happen to playing for the love of the game? Your payment is for your play in the tournaments. If you're playing really well and place good then you get paid. Most top pro players are put in these tournaments by their sponsors anyway and don't have to come out of pocket. As one poster on here stated earlier. If all you're worried about is money than get a job. I appreciate the live streams for when I'm not able to make these tournaments I can watch my friends play. I don't ever want to be paid for my face being on camera for playing pool. I love the game and don't want to take the love and fun out of it for just the money

I agree with all the post that state players should not be paid just because they are on a stream at a open tournament.

Lenny, I love the work you do! I enjoy your commentating. I applaud your hard work that makes it possible for all us "Pool Enthusiast" to view the sport we love so much, Lord know there's nothing else on TV nowadays worth watching. I have spent many hours watching the videos you post to your YouTube channel and when my time and schedule permits, I try to catch your live streams.
If a player feels they deserves some of your hard earned money just because their face is on your stream, set 2 cents on the table and tell them if they bring in X number of viewers, that's what they can earn, and if they do bring in X numbers of viewers, hand them their 2 cents and politely tell them Thank you. :wink:

Keep up the good work!
and, thank you for your time and effort!
 
It can always get better:

"All of these mobile cameras, including the helicopters, relay footage via VHF to two higher-flying helicopters which follow the length of the Tour. These in turn beam the footage to a plane which slowly circles the Tour high above. It does slow loops to stay as near as possible to the cameras, meaning the turbulence can be extremely rough. A second, back-up plane circles even higher, above any potential weather problems, to ensure coverage is consistent.

This may seem like overkill, but it ensures that the chance of an outage is negligible. “Twenty years ago, 15, we had some transmissions that didn’t work, but not now,” says Martin.

These planes transmit the footage using proprietary radio chips to an antennae suspended high above the finish line on a crane. On mountain stages where this line-of-sight is impossible, organisers fall back on intermediate lorries which relay the signal. Eventually, it travels into a lorry outfitted as a full television studio."
