But with baseball and football, you know when the standing around is gonna end and the action is starting again. Until then your free to go to the toilet, grab a burger, down a pint, make out with your gf etc. Then when the chap steps up to the plate (baseball) or the huddle breaks up and you know a play is a bout to be made (football), then you can focus on the game again.AngryJim said:Just a general comment on what's been said, alot of people have mentioned the slowness in play, specifically the "sit and shoot" aspect that would drive away viewers.
This seems a bit wierd to me when you look at baseball and football, most of it's just standing around. At least when paintballers are standing around, they've got a gun blazing.

In paintball, it requires constant focus for the solid 3-4 mins because it's a more of a blink and you miss it kinda sport. Many people with short attention spans would grow bored quickly watching a guy lay down a line on the tape for 20 seconds, not knowing if anything is going ot even come of it.
