'The Crucible has seen and entertained all sorts of have-a-go heroes in 43 years of hosting the annual potting jamboree, but has never witnessed a talent like Trump. Stephen Hendry, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Higgins with 16 world gongs between them, were and remain exceptional, sublime players, but they do not come near to what Trump can produce when he is fully loaded'.

Yes it is overhyping and it has happened before to other players and it will happen in the future too because that is their job.

Well, the sports business runs on that overhyping and overexaggerating... The more you hype something, the more viewers the event will have, and the more money you'll make. So, you can bet that the eurosport writers and other sports bloggers are
very well paid to overhype everything.

Exactly, and I bet even some of them don't actually believe 100% what they're writting, but they do it because it sells. That's quite common, I know from experience.

Well then, they're not well paid to do so, but sports channels shareholders and managers are extremely well paid when journalists overhype something, and since they're the ones taking the decisions and hiring the journalists...
