the point im trying to make, and im really only talking about teams that get FREE stuff (no matter how small it may be) is that, they want to be sponsored like other sporting professionals, but a large proportion of them dont know how to behave like professionals.
A team should never accept any sponsorship. no matter how large or small, if they dont want to be tied to a company and/or its associated products.
If you wanna use a product that suits YOU as an individual, and your team mate prefers to play with another brand of the same product, then dont accept sponosrship.... buy your kit and use exactly what you want
The minute you accept sponosrship... particularly FREE stuff, you enter into an agreement with the sponsor and you'e obligated to fulfil your side of the deal. Which does NOT include bad mouthing the product because maybe you had a bad day..... especially because paintballers (even the big teams) will always look to blame something else (eg paint or equipment) before they look at their own shortcomings... like maybe they just didnt play well
