down here in florida jai-alai is sadly also dying a slow, but
sure death. The cause of the "death" industry can be
tracked back to the strike led by Riki Lasa. Sadly he is just
about the only one with a few others not impacted by the selfish
ego driven act. many players have had to go back to their respective
countries, seek other ways to make a living, as well as all the
employees who worked the closed/torn down frontons, as well as
deprive a new generation of a truly great sport, and entertainment
venue. Since the industry killing strike, several frontons have
closed down, the few remaining are getting by only through the
simulcasting they offer in addition to live jai alai. Sadly most
old jai alai fans refuse to patronize the players who spat on
them, and cursed them and their families out when they entered,
or left the frontons during the strike. I hoe one day jai alai
makes a comeback, reopening the old frontons, and even adding
more, and Riki Lasa burns in hell. that is just my humble opinion,
and thoughts.
