We know that of all the games played in the world, snooker is the worst offender, environmentally-speaking.
Okay, if it isn’t, then how would one explain this activity?
One’s initial reaction to this little silliness, of course, runs to hanging or impalement. But snooker’s a gentle game, so I think a gentler punishment is called for, something not as extreme.
So if we all agree that flogging is appropriate, then the only remaining question is:
How many strokes?
Your recommendations in Comments. I’ll open the bidding at 50.
…and seeing as there are female vandals involved, let’s not forget #MeToo:
It’s only fair and equitable.
