Everybody keeps talking about how we should make all these changes in 14.1 in order for it to become popular and become accepted for T.V.!
Now somebody tell me one concession the golf world or in fact any other sport ever made for television!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody is off track here. The game needs to be cleaned up. I'm not talking about taking the gambling out of it. I'm talking about getting the proper people to do what was done for golf and the other sports.
Boxing is still 3 minute rounds. Auto races are still 250 laps or 500 laps. Horse racing has the same 3 races for the triple crown. Baseball is still 9 innings if weather holds.
People watch boxing and damn few participate in that sport. Horse racing is about as consistent as you can get. Baseball has not made any major changes except one league has a designated hitter and the other does not.
They are all televised and no one is saying let's make some changes and maybe more people will watch.
They just happen to have people who know how to promote!!!!!
Pool has always tried to utilize the players who have 0 promotional skills.Most of the players are flat busted most of the time, have no 401K, no medical insurance and basically live a lousy life in comparison to the rest of the sportsworld.
I say all those interested need to come to an agreement and go all out to do what is best overall, and secure from outside those people capable of making pool what it should be. But please get off this kick of changing to adapt to T.V.. They have qualified editors that can put together a package that a sponsor would love to have.
