If you're dedicated to football do you have to support a team?
...no, but mot people do because it gives them something to look up to.

the football analagy(sp) dosnt work though because you support a team that competes at a high level, in paintball you the equivelant might be supporting Nexus or something. I just dont see the need to join a group of people to show how dedicated you are.
It was a question, asking the people who put HK in their sig why they choose HK over any other team?
I understand why someone would have something about dynasty in their sig, as they have won alot of high profile events.
But apart from marketing their name very successfully, I cant see what HK have done that other teams havent.
Yes most football supporters follow a team but usually they choose one that has some relevence. Either based on geographical proximity, or sporting achievement.
Supporting HK is like supporting Jurmala, surely you would only support them if you lived in or came from Latvia?
i support HK its a way of life in paintball i work for paintball pretty much oh an my fone bill im 17 an i live for the weekend to get on the feild when i can afford it just been re newin my kit once thats all settled im on the feild every week pretty much
If you don't see the point in following a group... then don't, simple as.
The thread was asking why there 'is' a large following, and it's because we respect them for the way they live their paintball life.
Sorry i thought you were stating that we don't respect the other teams.
It's not so much what HK have done in terms of winning, it's the way they've gone about their paintball careers. They have created something that anybody can be a part of, not based on talent but dedication.
Of course you're going to have the people who see a 'cool' person with a HK symbol and want to follow, but too most it means something more.
The HK train pretty much every night, not on perfectly cut playing fields but where ever's available, i respect their dedication and style so i support them.
If Russian Legion hadn't won anything, but yet still trained 5 days a week, including fitness, countless drills. Dedicating their whole life to paintball, as a job etc
Would they not be supported by non-russians? Because they're from Russia?
Hell no, they'd have supporters and respect from all those that are impressed with their dedication and commitment and style.
Although they're not English or represent us, doesn't mean that we can't feel the need to show our respects to them and the way they play.
HK is all about balling for fun, no matter what. Kinda hard to do here since there's no real places I know where you can go and ball without like reservations and stuff but w/e. Maybe thats why it works so much better in NA, most ballers there jsut go every weekend with their friends and play.
"HK have done the best marketing job and thats what counts because kids are used to being told whats cool, its easier than deciding for themselves."
what marketing have they done? as far as i no they dont have an online shop anymore via their website and only members of the team sell the gear to raise funds for the tournaments and the free stuff they dish out every time they go to a tournament, be it major or minor
what i understand from hks marketing,... if u can call it tht is they have an online forum....but most of their support starts at fields, tournaments and among friends...i know for a fact if u have a company that promoting among friends is always the first place to start!
"Tom, its a question not a statement."
statements dont have question marks....that would be a rhetorical question.......but its wrong as a rhetorical question so in the end...
anyway back on track, like tommyboyspankster said its not about the winning.....its all about the heart
