Re: The World Open
Do I really have to explain this again? Or do you just love me so much, you use me for every example for everything?
I've never said the players shouldn't care about money. It's their livelihood, they have to make a decent living like anybody else. Asking them to travel all over the world for free is just absurd. Nobody would be left in the game. We all want the sport to be able to be last financially, that's why the sponsorship issue is so important. Players need to make money.
I've said the exact specifics of what a player is getting paid is not my concern. And it's not, as long as they are getting paid well. That doesn't mean I think they are all getting paid well
Also, I've said I don't judge prestige entirely based on the prize fund, there are other factors.
When have I ever said; "I don't want the players to get paid, and think they should be doing it for free"?
