A Real Sport

[mcdkid]

i think i have come up with the reason the people don't think pb is a real sport. its because of our "pro" players, the ones that get payed to play. no i'm not saying that they aren't good, i'm saying they are not reconized as higher "class" poeple like in other sports.

basically Chris Lasoya probly won't get away with murder
and if members of dynasty had rape or drug charges, they would do time

all i'm sayin is that untill Clare bites someones ear off we will just have to wait for better TV coverage.

A lot of you people are obsessed with Claire or Clare, however you spell it, it's pretty wierd. Anyway, I think you are correct mcdkid.

Whoa-ho-ho, hold up there, Turbo. I'm sorry if I didn't get the memo that banned humor on these forums, but I'll try to watch myself in the future.

I wasn't necessarily saying that either of you were. It just seems that she is brought up in almost every thread. And when I went to post that I agreed with the thread it just occured to me that is the case, but not just because of this. So I'm not saying that either of you are, but in general, it seems that a lot of AO has an unusual fixation with her. Especially considering that she really isn't all that hot or anything(imo) it seems wierd.

When those interested start paying attention to the players more than the models it might get more respect.

Nothing against the models, everyone I talked to at Chicago was friendly and everything, but when we as the spectators (face it most of us who play tournaments are spectators to the upper ranks of players - like playing tournament basketball does not make you a pro). I can tell yuo the names of a lot of models, not a lot of players. Ditto most of the people I talk to. Tell me again why we are not on tv

Now dont take that offensively, it is not worded politely, but it is meant to make you, and me think.

I don't get it. What do you mean "POST PICS!!"? Why do you want me die in fire? Your post didn't make much sense(at least to me).

Sometimes AO weirds me out too. I try to stay out of small talk just for this reason. Although everyone I meet at AO days are "realtivly" normal.

just b/c the "pros" arent recognized doesnt mean its not a sport
the game just isnt that popular, a game doesnt have to be popular to make it a sport.
and celebrities arent treated better, kobe will be in prison as soon as their is enough evidence put on him. its just cus hes rich, he has a good lawyer.

celebrity = rich = good lawyer = advantage = wins court
celebrity does not = law

That's circular logic. "Paintball isn't a sport because it's top-level players aren't rich celebrities"


Most paintball ISN'T a real sport. Tourney-play might be a sport, but it's really less sport-like than golf, even. The most sport-like iteration of paintball, X-Ball, or NXL, is tainted by industry over-involvement that casts it's basic honesty into doubt.
