Weird this........ I keep looking for DW at tournies so I can say hello...... but never find his name on a shirt. Knowing you are the only black player I ever see is going to make it a lot easier :)
But it got me thinking........ why?
In two years I've only met one one black player, one asian player and two Japanese lads (Students, actually from Japan).....why? hardly representative of the UKs ethnic mix is it?
Or maybe threads titled "any prominent brothas in paintball" keep putting them off ;)

Strangely enough
I was there at Skirmish all day with my team shirt on with my name emblazzoned across the back on the 18th, Like the only black player there, suppose i don't stand out as much with these red shirts of ours

Okay kids. Here's the deal. I've received some negative comments about Jack D.'s post above. It's staying but here's your opportunity. Follow the link to a new thread examining what the appropriate posting limits should be. It's an interesting question.

As to Jack's post--if you have a problem with it consider the source. ;)

Or just remove it ?

Not a fan of the fact his post count is 187 either.

EDIT ADDED (for flavor): So does that mean you're a post count snob? Is there a magic number whereby you're suddenly allowed to say something lesser post counts aren't? BL

187 ? MDK?

Oops i guessed you missed the point....;)

I've got a best mate who's here at the moment, and is definitely "black". When jack daniels post came up we roared laughing, guys this is a public forum, and i'm sure jd did not mean anything bad, just a quirky remark.
