the entire issue presented here seems to revolve around the majority of the viewers' willingness to learn the boundaries of the sport. Once people have done that, they can begin making up their minds about who they want to win etc. I'm sure that paintball on tv to someone who's never been is just as boring as football was for me when I was little. I didn't want to give the time to learning the sport's complexities, hence, the sport had no edge for me. Given the amount of time that football has been around, people (enough to fill couches across the world) gradually picked up the rules, tried the sport for themselves, and started playing more and watching NFL. I think that promotion isn't going to help an entire sport as much as it would say a garage band. The best conclusion i can come to is exactly what pretty much everybody else has, that we need to give the sport time to grow on people. There is no doubt in my mind, however, of the eventual success of the sport. I can picture the crowd going wild at a massive bunker or something. The whole paintball on tv idea is sick&agg&shwangadelic. keep the dreams alive, ballas.
