I'm wondering if the word "reality" is getting in the way here. As I see it the the tourney's would be no different than any other sport that is showcased for TV such as bowling and the World Poker Tour.
Darts & Reality Television
We at the S.C.C.D.A. have received a few e-mails concerning Don Wilson’s (a member of our organization) editorial comments concerning ESPN’s decision to create a reality show based on the game of darts. We have been asked to respond to the article published in the Santa Cruz Sentinel on Sunday, November 13th.
As a member of the human race, a citizen of the United States, a member of the S.C.C.D.A. and a free person, Mr. Wilson has the right to his own viewpoint and to have it heard. We of the S.C.C.D.A. do not consider it our right or our duty to hinder the free thinking spirit of our members or anyone else.
We have been asked to distance ourselves from Don Wilson and his ‘one-sided’ comments. Mr. Wilson is a League member and also a friend, so we will not ‘leave him out in the cold’, so to speak.
