pool is about as important to this country as darts is. the average person could not give a shit. pro pool could go away completely and nobody would notice any more than they did when pro darts went away. most all the average players out there that actually keep the pool halls open couldn't name more than a couple pro names of the top of their head they've ever heard of. who gives a shit? pool will drudge along like it has, it's fun, but not many take it too seriously, and those that do write dumb posts like this and bicch that its so hard to earn a living playing a game nobody cares about.
