It's not just player reactions that is the issue here. Though I still believe the majority of players do care about the Title/Trophy, and would still enter tournaments even if they disagree with what happened in this incident.
But, what about the TV partners like FOX Sports (or whoever broadcasts WPT these days) that purchase episodes from the WPT? You think FOX would continue to pay the same price if they get episodes delivered to them where the Title/Trophy was chip dumped in 3 hands to the big chip dog? I doubt that's the kind of content they're seeking.
(Yes, I know this particular WPT tournament wasn't televised).
