I have a lot of respect for the game of snooker. It seems to me to be a game for gentlemen. I saw lots of money won and lost at the front snooker table at Kendrick's, but never a fight. The rack man pulled a knife out one time and put it to the throat of a mouthy shooter who had called him "Monkey Man" because his ears stuck out. But, there wasn't a fight.

IMO, snooker is to billiards what FITASC is to clay target shooting.
James, for sheer entertainment find a video of some of the Mosconi Cup, which is held annually, alternating between America and England. It is the American team against the European team and consists of team and individual matches. The audiences are raucous, loud and very much into the competition. I want to go to the Mosconi Cup when it comes back to America in 2026. It was in Orlando last year but I couldn't go. It really looks like a lot of fun. Many fans don face paint and clothes that represent their favorite team's homeland.
