Which shady industry should snooker depend on next?
It had been predicted for some time that restrictions would be placed on advertising these smokeable cancer-causing sticks, but snooker persevered against this tide of negativity - before, with disastrous consequences for the sport, advertising smokeable cancer-causing sticks was banned.
For something like a decade, snooker was ravaged as it struggled to find new sponsors to replace the void left by companies that sell smokeable, cancer-causing sticks. But in 2010, a new industry began pouring money into the game: companies that allow young men to destroy their lives by wasting money trying and failing to correctly predict the outcome of sporting events. So now, 80 per cent of snooker tournaments are sponsored by companies that allow young men to destroy their lives by wasting money trying and failing to correctly predict the outcome of sporting events.
Now, it's being predicted that advertising restrictions will be placed on companies that allow young men to destroy their lives by wasting money trying and failing to correctly predict the outcome of sporting events. So, should these restrictions come to pass (and they will, eventually), which industry will snooker turn to next?
