a philosophy teacher of mine once said that the only true sports were in the essence of war. so paintball in terms of war these days, would be a sport since objects are shot at opponents.

It's not an official sport. It's a hobby that people turned into a sport and are waiting for it to be official.Comment

People who say that don't appreciate the game for what it is... because they don't know.
Paintball is obviously a sport... running, diving, crawling, shooting... it can be hard work. Heck, I broke my femur playing this game. :)
Besides paintball... most people don't take table tennis seriously because they equate it to the garage game of "ping-pong." Believe it or not, weight training and aerobic exercise is an important part of high level play. Think of how much energy it takes to throw a brick over a 10 foot wall. Imagine doing this about once a second for extended periods. This is literally what kind of power and endurance is necessary for the sport.
The point is... people don't realize how difficult various sports can be... and have wrong notions about them. They just don't know, and do not have the ability to appreciate particular games as a "sport."

If nascar is a sport, then paintball is. Heck, in nascar, u turn the wheel left, and thats it, nothing more. Now woods ball, is technically a sport by the definition, but X ball really defines paintball as a sport.Comment

Your coach doesn't know what he is talking about. How is it not a team sport. You work together with your team to accomplish a goal.Originally posted by gamarada717
No doubt, it's a team sport. Well, not to him. He said that paintball is just you and your "paintgun". Still mad about that....{*~*#53 BL SIG Blue/Black Dragon Timmy*~*}

Although I don't like nascar that much, and to me it is just turning the wheel, I suppose it could be difficult. Yeah, you would get hot and tired, but more than anything it's the car doing the work, right? So, what I'm saying is that nascar is an endurance test. Still a sport though.
"An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively." According to that, most things are a sport.

Try Papyrus's Nascar Simulator. You're gonna finish DEAD last, if your car survives long enough to even finish the race. The real thing is probably way tougher than the most accurate simulator...
It's REALLY hard... it is amazing that they can keep control going so fast... and race each other on top of it all.Comment
