FYI: Illuminati does not truly exist. forgetting that part of your post....
Contracted soccer players will not be allowed to play, let alone be a "face" of Pokerstars as this will contradict their contracts with their respective clubs, this makes Hornaldo, lol, such a good signing as all Simpsons fans will now want on board, I, for one, can not wait to meet Homer and take all his doh!

Nice tactic by Pokerstars indeed. All these former sport stars are now playing poker... I guess they have too much time and too much money... (wouldn´t complain if I had the same...)

Whenever a famous sports star gets sponsorship it divides the poker community. There are many who believe that giving someone who is already a multi-millionaire a six-figure bankroll of tournament buy-ins is completely unfair, especially when some of them don't even play that well (or at all).
