Maybe things are different on the women's tour, but I have a hard time imagining Jean Balukas (or Alison Fischer) wanting a hug after a loss either.
Who was in the wrong?

I find Seo's fundamentals extraordinary; she could be the poster woman for "Treat Every Shot With Respect." After playing a near perfect match, she practically skipped over to him like an excited child. To me her body language told the whole story: a 21-year old was excitedly approaching someone she looked up to (you don't get to Seo's level without knowing the game--of course Strickland's a hero). Earl wasn't having it. Fair enough, but he could have been nicer about it to say the least. After he blew her off, you could see Seo's disappointment in her body language. Earl had said to her, "You play better than me." At this stage of Earl's life, yes. Seo is going to be a force.
there is a precedent there, korean kim ga young was also around that age when she converted from carom to pool and became a major force. i'm glad to see these new asian girls accompany kelly and allison, as the level below them is.. not very watchable.
Yeah, totally. It was quite something to see. I've also seen it with SVB, but that was more his own screw-up (some screw-up and he just gives up after that). This was totally different.
The other thing I found interesting. The ref and Naoyuki Oi. After Naoyuki scratched on the bank, the ref was staring at him as if he was going to go ballistic. I'm not sure what he was doing off-camera, but the way she was looking at him I thought he was going to start throwing cues and chairs.

I think maybe it's in their contract, just like ladies tour in golf, they always seem to hug after a round.
If you are referring to American women players, yes it is very sad indeed. Not a single one in the world top 25 female pro Fargo rated players.
The USA men hardly better, with only SVB among the world’s top 30 Fargo rated players.

Earls a thug. A remnant of pool hustlers and low life’s of the past. Entertaining but not someone you would want your daughter to marry. School drop outs with criminal records. Druggies. Pool players whose only possessions are a cue, used car and pinky ring any of which are subject to being hocked.
Actually Earl is a great person to be around. Guessing you’ve never hung out with him

Probably already mentioned but what if the roles were reversed and Earl was looking for a hug?
In today's environment...jeez.

Everyone would be laughing at Earl calling hiim a creeper instead of breaking his balls for nothing and nobody would have had a problem with that
I have no doubt that she would hug him. It just seems her personality (very friendly, greeting people, etc.). What other people might say, probably all sorts of things.
yes, but the euro women too are clearly behind the asian girls and the two fishers. the travel restrictions going away really told the story
Who cares.. he did nothing wrong. She needs to grow up. You don’t need to hug people. If he tried to hug her and she turned it down you would be on here ripping earl for being a dirty old man and putting her in that position. When earl messes I’m fine to call him out. He did 0 wrong here. No one has to hug anyone …many or women. He shook her hand. That’s all thats necessary
We’d be making fun of Earl relentlessly for waddling with his arms out like a toddler with a loaded diaper.
If my worthy opponent is going to offer me a hug after kicking my ass, it had better be Mike Tyson.
If I’m going to accept my opponents embrace, it had better be offered from a dizzy and disoriented Mike Tyson.
