I need help!!!!

[Paintball_Playa]

Lately, I've had some arguments with friends at school. They are insisting that paintball is not a sport and is a "*** Game". I take offense to this so I need some people to try to give me reasons why paintball is a sport. (What makes me madder is that none of them have EVER played paintball before.):pissed:

Take your friends paintballing next weekend. Be cool about it though, don't show off. After a couple games ask them if they still think it is ***. They may like it so much they pick it up. That might convince them it's a sport.

It's tough to define what a sport is...

it makes you sweat
you have winners and losers
there are rules
there are referees
there are teams
there are tournaments
there are sponsors for the team and the sport
(ex. the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Ex. Spyder Cup)
You have to wear safety equipment
It's a good idea to wear a cup (just check stories forum)

Hope that helps
