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.

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

Paintball is a game. It's a damn good one but a game none the less. A sport is something wich was useful in life, (fishing, archery, hunting and shizzle) Although because paintball started as a way to mark livestock it could be a sport. Damn that was confusing. I demand an option of "maybe". -------------

Now in paintball we sneak and creap, we have no glove, no pads, and hopefully if done right no warning. We get hit repeatly, we scream in pain, then we go get cleaned up and repeat the danm thing over. Why? I thouht that paintball started as a way of marking trees for forestry? |

No. Paintball is not a "sport". But apparently Poker is. Since it's on ESPN.

Poker is a Card Game. Ive never heard of a Card sport so Poker is not a sport. Oh and spelling bees are on espn. That definatly does not make them sports..... ------------- ~Marker setup~ 2K1 Autococker Rt Feed 12in Freak ANS 3-Way Black Houge Grip Shocktech Drop Forward TippmannA5 16in J&Jceramic r/t 2X trigger Blue Dye c4 |

Softball is my sport and I play paintball just for fun...so I guess would be
a hobby for me. But I still believe that paintball can be considered as a sport if ur on a team, practice and train for it and if your all serious about it and go to the Olympics. -------------

Aside from the amount of money and people involved, what makes football
or basketball more of a sport than paintball? Soccer? Baseball?
I find it much more exciting to play than bowling, and Im sure there are plenty of people that agree.
No, going to watch a band play music live that doesnt sound nearly as good as the music on their CD with hundreds of other people you dont know is a waste of money.
I, along with the very vast majority of players, dont sneak or creap, I wear gloves, and pads, and while I do get hit repeatedly, I dont scream because of pain. You contributed what by saying any of this? -------------
