Yes, he should be ashamed of himself. But it's not bad for poker. Bad for what you (and I) want poker to be, maybe. And bad for him and his future sponsorships. But not bad for poker. Poker is what it is.

Poker has no image and it can't be made out to have one. IT [B]IS[/B] A BUNCH OF DRUNK PEOPLE. Not you. And not me either. But..... it is what it is. And when the TV and glamor goes away. And it will. Poker will still be there. Moving that money around.

Poker isn't the NFL, NBA, MLB etc. Even though they will try to make it so, THEY CAN'T.

In other organized activities they can bar or fine a person based on their behavior. Basically control them. In poker they can penalize you on the spot for a violation, but they have no control over you. There is no contract. It's just poker and it will only [I]occasionally[/I] be pretty on TV. When all the politically acceptable people make it to the final table, we get together around the coffee table. Ain't it pretty when all the people we like make it through. And when they act the way we want them to act. That's what brought the throngs to poker. Now they see it ain't so pretty.

"[I]Well maybe if enough people get together and complain real loud, we can muscle this [/I]cigars and booze[I] poker image out and push it towards the tuxedo set[/I]." ............... Ain't gonna happen.

That said. I wonder why they didn't slam Scotty for dropping the "F" bomb about three hundred million times. Geesh, a five minute break might have helped us all out.
