Hey Fellow Paint Slingers.I recently aquired ESPN2. In the past I have seen paintball on that channel (about 2 years ago). I was wondering if anyone knew when they are going to show it again. Thanx for the help

I think ESPN thinks that paintball isn't a real sport...shows how much they know.

You guys are right, for a short time a few years ago espn aired some paintball. Apparently they didn't feel enough people were watching, so they stoped airing and have said that the "market is not right for paintball to be aired".

I would love to watch some paintball on TV but from what I have seen of it, it is not an easy sport to televise! Ya got at least 10 people runnin every which way doing differnt things! Its too fast to get a good shot of everything.. you would have to have a camera on each player, and about 6 more for wide angle shots. Actually if they had the cameras like XFL (which is a BUNCH) it might work... Its just not a viewer friendly game! Unfortunately!
