Questions for Mike Janis (Viking) Calcutta
My dearest Mike,
Do you think it's fair that the auctioneer be allowed to silently bid on the "pool-players of their choice" or-to aution-them-off in 2 seconds without ever looking into the crowd to see who-else might want to buy this player?
As the auctioneer - do you think this confuses and manipulates the people who want to participate in the player-auction?
Don't you think that the people should have time to bid on this player and, maybe, - you should look up and see who has their hand raised?
Do you think that people should know where the bid came-from and see that-the person doing the bidding is you?
As a player and spectator who drove nearly a thousand miles - I would like to ask you;
#1 - How many players did you steal in just-this (the Greenville) the player-auction?
#2 - How much money did you make off the backs of these players?
#3 - Exactly (in what states) is the calcutta (player auction) illegal in?
