Tribute to Filipino Warrior Spirit.

What abut pool players? Pinoys are great at that sport.

Pool is not a sport. No matter how much you want it to be...it is not a sport. Any sport you can play and eat nachos at the same time can never be considered a real sport.

That includes billiards, bowling, poker. even though they are all on espn.
