How can we expect our sport to be accepted by the mainstream if we allow this behavior to go on during games and on the field?

hockey? baseball? Lacrosse? Ping Pong? ok, maybey not ping-pong...

Acutally it's for entertainment.

p8ntball72, look, if paintball looked this bad, I doubt K2 would've acquired Brass Eagle and boasted about how it will show paintball to the public in ways we could have never dreamed of before. So what if the NHL has stiffer bad sportsmanship rules? The players still do it a ton, and that's what the fans see (WOW, just like paintball).

Yes, I'm sure K2 is going to show up at events, start swearing at the spectators, and threaten to kick their posteriors if they don't play paintball with their gear.

I don't go to a field looking for a fight. I go to play/watch paintball. There's no reason whatsoever for someone to resort to violence. If they do, I'm comfortable knowing that I am much more intelligent than they are.

agreed, parts in that trailer disturbed me greatly

there was a disclaimer you know... don't gripe that you were offended when you are obviously literate... (excluding people whom either suffer from cranial rectosis or are having this forum read to them via third party)

Whats your point? I can't find something offensive because they have a disclaimer? right.... sorry that makes it all better

"Anyone who says fighting and cursing and all that other stuff gives paintball a bad name you are a pussy and you have obviously never been on the field of any other sport. anytime that there are guys involved in competition tempers are gonna flair most people realize this and get a laugh out of it or participate. as long as it doesn't get too out of hand (Sccer Riots) then I say who really cares."


Yup cause its all ok to start throwing fists around to handle your frustration. Come on, self control... People should not be fighting on the field period, if fighting they should be not allowed to continue playing in the tournament simple as that. I am sure its not funny to the person on the recieving end of that fist. Fine cursing isn't as big of an issue nowadays since it has kind of worked its way in to the everday slang used by most of society. But come on, you cannot justify fighting in paintball, doesn't matter how you look at it.


Fine look at hockey, I will tell you this. I go to hockey games for the fights, do you really want people just to watch paintball to see fights break out? I personally dont think thats the image I would like to see portrayed in paintball. If you see a fight break out in basketball you will have players ejected, same thing could happen in football as well and does happen from time to time.

That was hardly relevent. The point I was making is that paintball is ALREADY being absorbed into the mainstream if K2 will start promoting it.

We all go to play/watch paintball. But if someone gets screwed out of thousands of dollars due to a bad ref call or underhanded cheating, it's easy to see how there may be fights.

[MinimagRockin']

First of all, paintball's mainstream popularity does not depend on if people fight/swear alot, that should be pretty obvious.

Secondly fighting in hockey is a bit different because they are on ice standing on two sharp blades. Not exactly the best combo for getting torque or much traction.

Fighting in paintball should probably not be tolerated but occasionally, as in any highly competetive activity, tempers will flare and there is going to be conflict. Fighting is part of human nature, and occasionally is good for ya. So enough of the whinning about how bad it is, that's just what society has shoved down our throats as being right.

[Anthraxx]

Yes tempers flare and it happens in any sport its just human nature. To accept defeat is to accept failure and to some thats not allowed especially when bling bling is on the line. In hockey fighting is allowed because the players know when to fight and when not to, there is some sense of self control as to when and when not to drop the gloves.
As for paintball fighting should earn you a straight up ban. The cussing/searing so what it happens and yes cheating in paintball is unfortunately there, the honest don't win and U can't tell me that you have never wiped in your whole paintball career. I don't how many times I have lit someone up who needs winshield wipers to see only to turn around and see a semi clean mask.

My point is you knew it was potentially offensive and since you are so uptight you should know your tastes and not watch the offensive material...

You have honestly never been blatantly maliciously attacked in any sport? There is always someone trying to go out there to hurt someone. I have been hit playing pick-up touch football and the third time the guy did it I was all over him. my point is if provoked in any situation it may come to a head, and in a sporting competition enviroment it is more likely because of the adrenaline and testosterone flowing. Not just in paintball but every sport. How many times have you seen a batter rush the mound? did it give baseball a bad name? no It's our "national pasttime" so cut the crap about fighting or aggression ruining our kind and benevolent sport of paintball......

I'm not supporting fighting I'm saying it is unavoidably part of the world we live in.

First of all I didn't know there was going to be someone throwing punches at people in this video, I thought it was a video of bunkers and such.

I guess we can all be sheep and except violence as acceptable in everything we do. I guess I am just not a violent person and it would be kind of hard to provoke me into fighting regardless of the situation.

I do know this much when I'm on the field in a tournament or a recball game I tune everything else out and my attention is turned to playing. If someone is coming at me running, screaming and whatever else kinda tantrum they want to have, then yes it's on. I will defend myself and have no problem doing it. Do I consider myself a violent person No, but when it comes to me getting punched or shot the hell up I'm sorry I come 1st in that deal and my teamates will back me 100% even if it means a knockdown drag out fight.
I have seen people threatened, headbutted, punched, and blatantly shot up. Now albeit these kinda actions are from certain individuals who will always be that way whether on the field or off it. I would tend to think of myself as a painball player who will play as honest as the next guy and I personally won't lower myself to the standards of certain individuals I know and play against.

I knew that scene would get the Politically Correct paintball police up in arms.
