a previous thread about Shanelle created some bit of controversy about her getting much attention, sponsorship deals because of her looks.
most, if not all of those who reacted not in favor of this and seems unfair to them are females. some say she shouldn't be getting such deals because is not a top 10 player. that she's all about looks and nothing else. that Karen Corr should be given a sponsorship deal rather than her.
Since when did pool sponsorship became an instant privilege to a top player or an exclusive club for professionals only? lemme remind you that pool is not only a professional game/sport, it is also a recreational game/sport where everybody is entitled to play, improve, enjoy and get the benefits from it. you don't have to be a great player to endorse a product. in fact, even the first lady can endorse pool if only George would allow her.
the only fault that these jealous people see is Shanelle being a gorgeous woman who plays mediocre pool. again, pool is for everybody and enjoy the benefits that comes from it. why blame the player for being approachable? it's good for pool and at the same time, good for business. even if Shanelle is not yet on that level, and may fall short of that expectation, she serves her purpose of promoting the game, and at the same time, enjoy the game.
wouldn't it be beneficial and good to see a lot of goodlooking people begin to come, see and play pool, aside from the regular rodeo men and women that are behaving like men?
