World Pool Championship to leave Saudi!

Jamal Khashoggi--look it up if you don't know what they did to him. We all want higher purses for pool tournaments. but this was always 100% about getting fans of various sports to view Saudi as some sort of benign, sporting kingdom. It was a pact with the devil and pool will be better off elsewhere, along with LIV Golf and everything else the Saudis played PR with.
 
If the prize money is secured for the next 5 years, they should host the event in the USA, and not somewhere like Qatar.

St Louis would be a good place...
 
Well there is a war going on in that region.
It’s time to bring it back to Cardiff and it’s glory
 
“The prize money, the prize money”. Sick of hearing about the prize money. Is it good that players can win better purses, and make a living at this game? Yes, but at what price? Frankly tired of MR, Emily, Championships in God forsaken 💩 holes like Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc. World Championships should be held somewhere where those that actually play the game can attend, enjoy and support the game, irrelevant of “the prize money”. If it has to be held in places no one will go in order to get better purses, it’s just not worth the trade off. YMMV
