Paintball Jerks

[Kyle.Kimber]

I've noticed that paintball attracts a lot of Jerks. Not like other sports. I don't know why some people have to be so mean. At my local field, people get their stuff stolen all the time. And the people are racist and stupid. I personally feel that the demographic which is gravitating towards paintball are the imbecilic, cocksure, lethargic, ADD diagnosed, spoiled, kids of this generation. And fat. Fattys. There is no excuse for a 16 year old to be 270 pounds.

What do you all think. Is it too real for ya'll.

oh c'mon, it could be genetics! don't you ever watch southpark? anywho i agree with what you're saying... but we've had this topic come up several times and we all know that every field has their fair share of punky kids that think their the "shiznit"

heyheyhey...
I'm 'bout 235 an' reckon those 'em fightin' words

But I'm actually 21 and was only about 210 last year when I played collegiete football. But due to a current lack of conditioning, I find myself 25lbs heavier and staying in bunkers until My big but can roll on over to the next one. Wow, I feel fatter now.

I have noticed groups of unpleasent cometition and teamates. They never want to work as a team, wipe, whine, and trash talk. It's generally the agg kids and the like. My feild's kinda a welll mannered one though. Doesn't attract alot of dicks and agg's. It's often not uncommon to see kids and their father or uncles out having a good time with others.

Indeed, there unfortunately is a high number of undesirable personalities in paintball. But I would say there are more good people, we just notice the others more. But now didn't you just add a bit of your own "jerky" here? You just threw anyone overweight in with the bad sports. Kind of mean too? That fat kid may still be an awesome player if not at least one of the nicest players to know at the field. Not every fat kid is fat either because they stuff their face with twinkies and watch TV all day, some have genetics to thank.

Don't mean to jump on you about it, just keep an open mind towards others and differentiate yourself further away from the jerks

Yeah, take it easy on fat kids, I am fat and I am in general a nice guy and do not wipe or cheat. I play fair. I am fortunate enough to have never had anything stolen from me at a paintball field. That is probably rare today, but true. Of course the last two times I went to a field stuff got stolen (one was a mid price mask and the other was an intimidator ). Anyways, it is true that there are a few bad agg's (pretty punny ) in the sport, it is still a great sport to play. And there are jerks, dickheads, and Aholes in all sports, so it is always gonna happen.

i hear this so much. but i never see it, in speedball at least. The only thing notable is a fight i saw a few years ago, and maybe a team i see wiping. Other than that ive seen more sportsmanship and good naturedness in speedball/tourneyball than in woodsball or outside of the sport.

QFT. Honestly with that statement, you seem worse than the majority of speedballers ive seen.

Dude, racist people? It is your area of the world. When I was at Camp Lejeune I found alot of racistism. Not everyone mind you, but a big %. Being from the north I wasn't well liked at all. It was for me a real downer being down south. I felt the civil war is still alive and strong in them southern states. I figure it's high time them feelings of hate be dropped. But since it has been what 141 years ago since the war ended, I guess old habits are hard to break.

Ouch...
I feel dumber already, just for having read that.

I didnt think it rated that low

my team mate is 15 and 250 pounds. but he's also 6 foot 5, so.....

[mobsterboy]

hey, yeah, easy on the fatty's. Im 6 foot 3 270 lbs, and I dont move quick but my shots do count for what they are worth. As far as all the other stuff, do black people really play paintball? I've honestly never seen a one.

yes they sure do. in 04 I played a small tourney at Factory PB in N Chicago and there was an all black team. They were ok. They were the only team we beat but we were a brand new team. It was three man and I had just met one of my teamates that day. The other I knew from school, so naturally we stunk because there was little teamwork.

Rich kids -> jerks
