Ronnie O’Sullivan wishes to stop snooker game because of…..

With the governing body of snooker, Ronnie O’Sullivan claims he is at a “crossroads” and may give up the game if he needs to spend less time in China.

If Ronnie O’Sullivan is prevented from playing in China, he has threatened to give up snooker.

Exhibitions in the Far East are getting more and more profitable, although they frequently coincide with World Snooker Tour events. O’Sullivan and other players from the UK are under contract to compete in WST tournaments; if they withdraw from competition to play abroad, they risk punishment.

‘If I can’t go and do what I need to do, which is play a lot in China, I won’t play again,’ O’Sullivan declared in a BBC interview promoting his new documentary. That puts us at a bit of a crossroads.

His remarks concerned the five athletes who were threatened with sanctions for participating in the Macau exhibition event rather than the Northern Ireland Open.

O’Sullivan told the BBC, “I know that they’re going to throw the book at me.”

“I’m unable to express myself. That’s something I’ve come to terms with. That’s the circumstances I find myself in. “I’m facing disciplinary action,” he declared during a lengthy interview with BBC Two.

Discipline against the five players—the world champion Luca Brecel, the four-time world champions John Higgins and Mark Selby, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, and Ali Carter—was avoided when the World Snooker Tour (WST) approved the event’s move from Macau, a special administrative region of China, to December.

With snooker at a “crossroads” due to a dispute over events in China, Ronnie O’Sullivan threatens to quit the game if the sport’s executives don’t agree to his demands.
