I think Fast Eddie said it best in COM:
"Checkers sells better than Chess".
Most under 40 pool players today are part of society that grew up without any real exposure to 14.1 Hell, I'm 52 and the only exposure I had to 14.1 was AFTER I saw COM, when I rented a copy of "The Hustler". In the early 90's I was taught 14.1 by "The Old Timers", many of whom now are long gone.
I also think society as a whole has "evolved" with dramatically shorter attention spans. That's not condusive to appreciating, much less watching 14.1 Very sad because I think 14.1 is the highest form of the game. Just my opinion. -Z-
