Why they don't ban Earl Strickland from International competition?
Despite the fact that Earl has bad attitude to the game of Pool, he still appears to many international competitions like Mosconi Cup, World Pool Championship, US open and many more. Many people hate his attitude and could destroy the reputation of US about Pool. What is the sort of reasons than can cause rejection of any Pro players from international competitions?
vegas, straight where are you all old folks???

Banning a player for having a bad attitude would be a lot worse for the sport of pool than letting him rant and rave. You can fine or suspend him if he swears or does something off the table to hurt or shark his opponents, but otherwise I don't see a problem with him acting like a douchebag. Every sports needs it's "bad guys" that are fun to root against.

I'll tell you what. I've had conversations with Earl about pool. And he has about 100 times more passion about it than you and I put together. Yes, he is abrasive, and has a bad attitude, but the guy is 100% about pool. He is actually a pretty nice guy, he just has an eccentric personality.
If you ever get a chance. Ask him how he feels about Texas holdem. You'll really see some attitude... haha
