Women and pool

Ok, don't flame me too bad :)

For the life of me, I can't understand why....... at the professional level..... there needs to be a separate division for women.

Can anyone explain to me why they can't ( or won't ) compete with men at this level?

I think this has more to do with the WPBA shouldn't ever want to be associated with the mens tour. Look at what the men have done to their sport, case in point Strickland in Milwaukee, WI and the loss of Camel as the sponsor. The WPBA is a class act organization as my finace and I found out when she played in the Cue Tech Nationals in Oregon. Everyone was so friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in.

Second of all even the top women just can't compete with the women. I know Larry Nevel has to give up the 6 to most of the women and he still wins and he is not even a top player.

Thanks for answering that. And I think they are definately using Wei as a freak show for their own benefit. She will turn pro before too long, then we will see how good she can be.

In today's paper, 4-21, another male pro spoke up about giving sponsors exemptions to women. I'll print the entire article:

U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen fanned the flames of the debate on women entering men's golf events Wednesday by saying female players should be forced to qualify.

"I THINK IN GENERAL THE PLAYERS FEEL IT'S NOT THE RIGHT THING" said the South African, who played a charity skins event with South Korea's Grace Park in Thailand last weekend.

"If they qualify for the tournament, they go through qualifying school...then it's fine. BUT JUST TO KEEP GIVING INVITES AWAY IS PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT THING". (end of article)

As I stated earlier, it's a freak show. In the long run it won't be a benefit to either tour or either gender.

Drivermaker, I agree...the women should have to q, just as the men do.
I guess the more important question is: Are we THAT bored that we are gonna make this tpic active again?? :p

Pool

Pool is becoming just like any other sport, its about money, television time and sponsors. And the industry will do anything it can to please the sponsors. Whatever you dont like about it, its not going to change but get worse.

It doesn't matter...he PM'd me and said he wouldn't make that trade in a million years and wanted to know if I'd completely lost my marbles. :eek:

Now I have everyone upset with me. Scott feels like I was hustling him and giving a raw deal because I asked for so many cards....and LS77 is pissed at me because she feels that she was at least worth a Jerome Bettis in addition to all the rest. Man...some days you just can't win. :(
Here I am just trying to be a really nice guy to find a home for her, and look what happens. :confused: :(
