O'Sullivan: Modern snooker is "toxic" because the players are not united, so I can't fight for more for them.
On October 30, the British media reported that 6-time World Championship winner Roño Sullivan revealed in an interview that many years ago, in order to fight for more benefits for the players, he wanted to make some efforts and changes in some aspects of snooker, but he not only did not get the support of his peers, but also was "kidnapped" by snooker. Therefore, Rocket said that instead of finding some "idle things" for yourself, it is better to do something that is only about yourself. It's good to be happy yourself, and you can't control other people's affairs.
Since then, that is, since 10 years ago, O'Sullivan only wants the "World Snooker Tour" to "serve himself", and he has abandoned the idea that "he can make some contributions for everyone to change the World Federation".
O'Sullivan said: "To be honest, I changed my mind a lot about the sport of snooker more than a decade ago. For a certain period of time, I thought I could do something different and make the World Snooker Tour move in a direction that would benefit every professional player, but that wasn't supported by the other players at the time. And now, whether it's some low-ranking players or the top big-name players, they are constantly complaining about all kinds of things. Like I said, snooker is poisonous in every way right now. ”
When O'Sullivan's idea of changing the status quo in Snooker was not supported by other players, he could only rely on snooker as a personal hobby. If the players are not united, O'Sullivan also admits that no one can find a more suitable source of income for all professional players. Therefore, he had to withdraw from the "snooker" by himself and cooperate with sponsors on things that were not related to the tour, such as hosting more invitational and exhibition tournaments himself. For the Rockets personally, everything is great at the moment. But the Rockets believe there are a lot of accidents happening in snooker games right now, and unless the players all come together, this bad surprise situation will continue.
The Rockets think they sometimes fight for other players in many ways, but that doesn't work, they think it's just good for him. Rocket said: "I really like snooker, I like to go to public events and make some statements that the game is good for the sport, but it is counterproductive for me because they don't think so. If so, why should I do something tiring and unflattering? I just have to take care of myself. ”
