    I support them. I like how even pros still take a break to go play weekend ball with their friends. Its nice to see pros who still are in it for fun and not just to be the best.

                  I think the few teams they have are good, but all the wanna be's and crap annoy the heck out of me. Also, some of them seem to be jerks. Plus, I think some of there lingo is homo. However, I have nothing against them as a team. I think a lot of them are very good players. I don't support them by saying agg every ten seconds and I don't have their stickers everywhere and I don't have one of their avatars, but I'm not against them either. I'm in the middle I suppose.

                    I suppor them, they do some cool mods and stuff and are nice people. What pisses me off though is the mass amount of kids going around with HK army shirts, stickers, whatever trying to be part of a bandwagon. I mean, if it was only them that said AGG, that'd be fine with me. But the bandwagon started moving and next thing you know, all the kids are saying AGG !!!

                      And who is HK? I don't read PBN much anymore, everytime I go there I ended up wanting my 15minutes back.

                      Edit: Eh, I went and clicked on the link. I want my 15min back...

                        A different viewpoint

                        OK, let me start by saying I am an older guy, I doubt I speak for all, but from an old guys point of view who really cares.

                        Do I support HK? To me, HK stands for a German gun company.

                        I do not look up to or desire to be like ANY "pro" paintball player. In fact the only one I might recognise by sight is Bob Long. But if he was standing with a bunch of other large bearded guys, I'd have my work cut out for me.

                        I can understand the younger crowd "hero worshipping" a particular team or good player. Its human nature. I don't care for the band wagoning that goes along with that sort of thing, but realize they go hand in hand.

                        I think there is a myth of the "pro paintball player". I'm sure its great to be sponsored, so you get free toys, but there are other things to consider. Do you get medical and dental when you play for a team? Is there a 401K? Accidental death and dismemberment insurance? Can you afford your rent/mortgage/car payment/utilities/groceries on your salary? Or do you just get to impress people with the cool free stuff you get? I honestly don't know.

                        I read some of the PbN article and they refer to them as being street kids. Maybe my definition of street kid is different. When I think of street kids, they arent hanging around a paintball field every weekend. We all know its a very expensive sport. They aren't going with out much if they can afford to play every weekend.

                        They mention arrogance. I don't think that is ever something to look up to. You can be good, just try not to be to full of yourself. You weren't always that way.

                        I really thinks its a sad state of affairs when its accepted that you have to be good at cheating to be competitive. Its a game, nothing more.

                        I think a lot higher of the guy who takes his kid out to play, and teaches him to play fair, than I do of the "hot shot" who teaches someone the correct way to wipe a hit so you can continue to play after you have been legally eliminated. Its a basic rule of the game. I think its the equivalent of being tackled in football, then getting up and continuing to run. It should be that simple. You get hit, you go out.

                        Of course since I don't desire to be competitive in that area of paintball I can stand back and look at it with different eyes. I have reached a certain level of skill I'm happy with. I'll try to improve a bit, but I have other things to do in life than just play paintball. Its not important for me to run drills and practice constantly.

                        When I play there are 3 possibilities. I'm either outclassed in skill, and I hope I don't get beat up on too badly. I outclass the newbie, in which case I try not to ruin their day of fun by abusing them, or I'm equally matched, in which case I think both sides have a real FUN day of paintball. I think that is the MOST IMPORTANT thing. Sometimes I think that gets forgotten too easily.

                        So to sum up, no support, since I have no knowledge of who they really are. I don't care how good they are or aren't. Unless they are helping to make paintball fun for anyone they meet it just doesn't matter.

                        Sorry about the rant. Now you kids get off my lawn...
