Sponsorship

[sundance1968]

back to mp's expense's lol

What do u think they would be doing if not paintball the council probly gave the cash as they saw it as worth while

Who cares where the cash comes from better it go to paintball than an Mp's pocket?

TBH would rather see kids/adults anyone play than have it out with them because they dont like the product

i blame gordon brown !! he promised me free stuff at the last election

ha ha

my point is that you should all be happy that money is going into paintball given the recession.

i havent read all the posts but unless someone from the team has stated otherwise you dont kno the story

and as said they are "young" so cut em some slack, biggin themselves is a way of giving them selves more confidence so let em be, i hate BS too but if you dont like it dont listen lol

im shocked that more peeps havnt seen that its benificial to have more youngens getting involved

This is only my opinion, and hope the people against these kids see that they haven't done anything wrong!

yes it is ron and shared by myself

And so we come full circle, and you've slated these guys without knowing any of the facts.

It seems that they are not what you thought they were, so your rant about them being sponsored and not playing "as you would" in your ideal paintball world, makes this thread a bit ridiculous.

If you ever get to the dizzy heights of being fullly sponsored, you'll soon see the real world out there, and it won't be as clear cut as you think it is.

won't be as clear cut as you think it is.

OK so lets just take the police off the streets (I know they don't do much anyway) but still, why should we conform, why should we just say '**** happens' if anyone could teach these kids a valuable lesson why are you holding me back from just having a word with their team captain and shedding some light, hell I might get a kick to the face, but why is everyone telling me its not the kids fault, I am not blaming the kids, I am not pointing any blame in any direction, all I am saying is... this is what is happening, should I have a word.

People on this forum just love to have a go, when all I was asking was an opinion, I can understand if this was a petition to get these kids back on the streets and out of paintball but its not, its trying to show people how they can support the industry more.

if anyone could teach these kids a valuable lesson why are you holding me back .

because you have no idea what's going on

Need i say anymore.

there are now two facets to this thread.

1: should these kids be dealt with? as Tom says - leave it alone unless there are facts to back things up - we don't know the full circumstances.

2: the more general question: what do people think of teams that misrepresent their sponsors?

the first is going no where.

the second could be a more productive thread......
