ESPN apparently thinks that pool is a joke, not a real sport. They cover it in a disgustingly superficial manner. They often only show one or two shots in a run. They never show an entire match. And they are not interested in expert commentary. That is one of the many reasons that I do not watch TV anymore.
The coverage of the olympics is often similar, for some very exciting sports. Table tennis, perhaps the most exciting and awe inspiring of all sports, comes to my mind. I have never seen more than a few points shown at a time.
