Should wsop start revenue sharing with its income from TV, sponsors, vendors, logo merchandise sales, concessions and cash games rake?

A new online petition to WSOP at change-dot-org thinks so.

Agree or disagree?

I agree because those who move this sport are the players, and it should reflect to the players as well as promotions and freerolls.

revenue share with who? The players? That makes ZERO sense. The employees? They probably already do? The investors and shareholders - they do this already.

Im not sure I understand the question, but I think you mean with players and that again makes no sense to me - how could you do this logistically anyways, and why would you - its like asking walmart to revenue share with its customers - crazyness

BTW POKER IS NOT A SPORT!

disagree. They take all of the risk. Rent the venue, hire the dealers, negotiate tv deal and hire staff to manage the tourney. If players don't like the setup, then they can find another tourney...
