          ok,some one said paintball can't be on T.V. because of it's violence.thats bs.hockey is on TV,baseball is on TV,NASCAR is on TV.and if you guys want to talk about boring games,watch golf,or bowling.people go to those sports I said above for the action.I know the only reason I ever go watch hockey is to see the fights.and NASCAR for the crashes.It's all part of the show.by the way,whats that pbshow called?
          i wrote down all the times

            No one ever said paintball cant be on TV due to violence....it was because of a law suit and a lack of basic RULES for the game. Each tourney has its own different rules etc...

              I remember that law suit thing,seemed really stupid to me.Like someone said,we should go with another channel,and make sure it's ok with all the players/promoters,to have it televcised

                Jonno, you noticed, i said that they will only think this IF they see cheating, fights and bad attitudes... this was to make my point that paintball is not ready for TV. It will be eventually, but not now. The game needs to get cleaned up a lil. besides, dont we want all the cheaters eliminated from the game??? This will not only make it better for players who follow rules, but will make it better to show to people to make them want to play.

                If you were watching a new sport and it was dominated by cheating and unsafe attitudes, would you want to play?
