Ive seen a lot of reasons why pool is cool. But i think we are missing one.
Pool itself is beautiful. The tables and cues are pieces of art. All the colors of the balls, the intricate designs of cues. Watching a ball roll is one of life's pleasures. Who knew that one could do so much to a ball with a stick, chalk, and a leather tip. Which other sport has the beauty of pocket billiards? When I see a nine footer kept in great condition I get butterflies in my stomach.
Also on the table, everyone is equal. Anybody can play well if they desire. It dosen't matter what ethnicity you are, if you are tall, short, skinny, fat, you gain respect from your skills. You will never know how someone plays by their apperance as another person posted.
Pool is cool because of its history. Some very noble people have shared our infatuation with pool. It has been a game of royalty and its been a trick of hustlers.
Most of all, pool is cool because it is FUN.
I never forget why i fell in love with it in the first place. And i wont stop playing till i lose my eyesight.
