At as to if it is a professional sport or just a sport? Exactly why is is it a sport then? |

Hmmm . . . initially I considered paintball a sport; but, now that I think about it, I know lots of people who play that don't have either skill or physical prowess. |

Same reason every other sport is a sport. The definition says it. Walking around in the backyard pelting each other isn't a sport. Once you are doing tournaments and practicing and drilling it becomes a sport. |

Not if they're just tossing a ball around. This is the equivalent of just shooting your buddies. If theyre actually playing then yeah they are. Just like if you actually play paintball then it is. |

Doesn't work to your point though. You said that playing tourneys and practicing makes it a sport. People who play football in their backyard often aren't practicing for organized football but isin't it still playing a sport? Edited by carl_the_sniper - 02 February 2008 at 12:09am |

ya, if your playin football in your backyard, NOT just throwing it arround, its considered a sport in my book. so id say if you are playin paintball with some kind of makeshift field it should be a sport right?? its not like your just shootin each other, your actualy DOING sompthin. i dont know if that made anny sence to annyone but me.

Not really. I guess it makes sense but that depends on if you consider paintball a sport or not. Your point doesn't really argue whenether or not it is a sport just the conditions for it being played as a sport if it were to be considered a sport. |

All you people saying that paintball is a sport because the dictionary definition says so:
You must believe in paintball snipers, right? I mean, dictionary says so. |
