The sad truth is, this is exactly where we are.
The industry does not want our help. The industry has its own goals, and its own priorities, and it is lobbying for itself, not for us.
The industry is more than happy to have players 'rah rah' for the industry's favored legislation, but players aren't putting foth legislation, and if they did industry would **** on it like they did in WA
And the industry has clearly stated, by no longer supporting PPA, that even PPA is no longer a worthy investment, showing how little the industry needs the players.
I think removing the 'players' from the Poker Players Alliance and becoming an industry advocate is fine, and I think those still being critical should give it a rest.
If you're going to criticize Rich and the PPA, you should start with telling us all what YOU did for legalized poker this year, or just stfu
