Sometimes paintball players can be so ... naive.
It should be a sport. You know that in most sports, the home team wears white, and visiting team wears colors? That the basketball has to be a particular color, depending on the league? The tennis court has to be green, unless it's that new fangled tennis league, when it's blue? That the goalie's jersey can't be the same color as the rest of the teams?
Pretty soon, they're going to make paintball players all have numbers on their jersies in the same spots that are the same size, and make you have two sets of jersies for home and away, make you pass a drug test, and you'll look up, and there will be people in the stands, thousands of them, and maybe a group of 5 rings above your head, and maybe you'll stop to wonder when paintball became a real sport.
Actually, probably not, because like most people who "play" paintball, you're probably much better at whining about the inconveniences that make the difference between a sport and a hobby than you are comprehending what it means to be an athlete.
