Watching Billiards

Watching billiards on TV is got to be the most boring thing. I tried to watch it on ESPN the other day and lasted 30 seconds. It was some trick billiards contest. I did not understand what was going on. I am now leaning towards my last blog (on is billiards a sport or an leisure activity?) just an leisure activity. Billiards is NOT an real sport. ESPN has to nice and let some other thing on every once in a while. What are your thoughts?

Is Billiards a sport?

Is billiards a sport? This is the question. If you watch ESPN then you have seen at some point in time a billiards tournament. Whether it is as match or an trick shot match. So if it is on ESPN then it must be a sport right? I would like to think so. I watch ESPN every chance I get. Some people think that games like billiards is not a sport because there really is no team and there maybe no strategy involved because all you do is hit a ball into a pocket. So this is the question to be answered. What do you think?
