I am sick and tired of stupid people saying paintball is not a sport it
is like they spit in my eye. I work on my game just like they do and
condition myself so that I can run for long periods of time. But still
they call it a hobby and it is making me angry . Write and tell me what you think of these idiots.

i dont know, it is physically and mentally challenging, but i'd say
there is a difference between sport and extreme-sport, which is the
category we fall into

2 teams competing against 1 another...kinda sounds like a sport to me. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Its a competition between two or more people/teams. Its widely knows as an extreme sport, so whoever claims its not, have them play, and see if they still say its not a sport when they get owned while having an asma attack on the field ------------- Member of team Annihilation Negitive http://www.specialopspaintball.com/brigade/member_view.asp?id=17000">

I agree with Ariakon.
But I also believe that all sports also qualify as hobbies...... But not all hobbys qualify as sports...... Also, dont make fun of tennis. It is actually quite hard. -------------

It is definitly a sport... you have to be physically fit and it takes strategy and teamwork. I'd say thats more of a sport then tennis ------------- check out Actionmarkers.com, like any of the guns??? pm me if you want discount. |

sorry rio didnt mean to insult u or anything..... it the principal of
the whole thing. paintball is an advanced form of dodgeball and
thats considerd a sport. the only diff is that you hav ALOT more balls
to watch out for

Want to go by my definition of sport (probably not)
Sport- an activity that has atleast 2 teams competiting ont he field at any one time that requires physical activity Exception- Golf So by the definiton- bowling is not a sport... or cheerleading for that matter (well.. spectator sport  )
Anywho, you placed this in the wrong forum.. this should be in T&O -------------
