Pros: Paintball is played by more people in america than there are snowboarders and snowboarding is on TV all the time.
It would generate public interest in the sport.
Cons: It is almost impossible to see the balls in the air after they are shot. People will only be seeing people ducking in and out of their bunker.
Post what you have to add or say

Pros:
We get to watch paintball, and see how it is done by the pros.
More interest.
Can be fun to watch if it's done right, good camera angles, and when someone gets hit good camera work to show a slow motion replay as soon as it happens to show the hit.
Paintball, more to the point, speedball is very quick and intense, not long and drawn out or boring most of the time, not a dull moment and would make for a good way to show how fun paintball is.
Cons:
Wipers, we don't want people to learn how to cheat in paintball before they learn how to load a hopper.
GOOD refs, they should have headsets so the TV crew can correct any mistakes, if someone is marked and the refs dont' see it, it's the TV crews job to make sure they know. Nothing like watching a sporting event and the refs are morons and the cameras are wasted and an obvious call ignored.
