actually im watching tech tv as i write it, extended play's anime videogame special. Tech tv is so strapped for cash they would never sponser anyone. Sony, I do work with their marketing department, well the playstation marketing department, they are stingey,a nd know that sponsering doesnt have as high of a return as regular advertising.

not sure if anyone mentioned this yet but how about going around town and ask for donations

[magmonkey]

I am sorry for this post it is not ment as a flame but I have been thinking about this for quite some time, and am I the only person who doesn't want paintball to go corparate?
I mean think about it.

Right now we could (I am not saying we would do well... I am just saying we could) get our teams togther pay the entry fee and get on the field against the best players in the world..... are there any corparate sponsored sports that you could do this? try getting your friends togther and see if they will let you play in the world series.

or think about it in another light:
try going to a local punk show and getting up on stage and singing with the band.
now try the same thing at a large rock concert and see what happens

don't get me wrong I think that the money that a large company could give to the paintball would be great. but I think that it would bring alot of bad things such as greed
(not saying that we aren't in a small greedy community now)

I like the idea of paintball being an underground thing
it fits well into my life and I think that we are kind of wishing away the golden age of our sport

just a thought

yea you have a good point, but...
as long as paintball is "underground" we won't have pro teams and players that get payed because they have a gift(not that important but still), and the price of paintball is still to damn high, yea it has come down but not enough.
whens the last time you spent sixty bucks going to play football or baseball, never unless your renting a stadium or buying new equipment.
and the biggest reason, if those business with money don't know about us, it will be marked on all paintball players when someone shoots a church, or a person on the street. we need to get away from that.

God forbid we see the day when Corporate America takes an interest in Paintball. Its like selling your soul to the devil for a few bucks.
