No.  It's a fun hobby.

I don't look at it as a sport, you only play for a few minutes at a time, and then you have a long break between most games, especially at big tournies. Basically the same way as I see baseball, it's not physically demanding enough for a long enough period of time to be considered a sport...Athletic event, maybe.

    1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
    2. A particular form of this activity.
  1. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

Id consider it one.

Are you serious?

List of sports from the Yahoo sports directory:

Types of Sports

Do all of those sound physically demanding? No. But they are still sports

It's not a sport. Stop reading those paintball magazines and living your life for paintball. It's a waste of money.

You guys need a better hobby. Paintball is boring and expensive.
