They may meet some goals while destroying value, but they aren't even smart enough to recognize that and neither arel most horse players.
I don't even have to know any of these guys personally to know that they are all a bunch of self centered corrupt morons that don't even understand basic economics or business. This is all beyond a joke. This is the undoubtedly the dumbest or 2nd dumbest industry on the planet (the people that run pocket billiards may be even dumber). It's hopeless. Make your bets and watch politicians, fools, and corrupt scum sink this game further into the abyss. That's all you can do.

CH,
Was one of your New Year's resolutions to go off anti-depressants?
With all due respect -- and you have always had mine -- if this thread nelped open any additional eyes to the variety of negative aspects of this franchise renewal process to which you've referred, then I have no regets about any time and energy that I expended. Following this circus has certainly been as entertaining as frustrating.
But I disagree that we have to watch it sink slowly. We can become moth collectors and stop opening our wallets until reason prevails. That's the only answer.
