Nobody is saying the BDO has no place or isn't important and serve a purpose, just that it shouldn't pretend it is something it is not. It was once the world championship, it no longer is.
It provides players, but you wouldn't get a football feeder league claiming it was the pinnacle for a player.
We're talking about how on earth the BDO event can be called a world championship without inviting ridicule. What are you talking about? What you are saying makes no sense. Grass roots football doesn't hype itself as the World Cup.
In football terms it is very much 'Coming to you live from Hackney Marshes..'.
Amazing the BBC still cover it.
And Hearn always knows who to recruit and who will cut it, it isn't every BDO champion. You knew Bunting was class. Adams wouldn't last five minutes.
