Also, most people I've asked about paintball (grownups, teachers, etc) think paintball isn't a sport. They all think it's a hobby. I think the whole deal with Oliver Lang will help some, but to most people it just doesn't seem to involve that much skill. My parents view it as a little hobby where I run around and shoot my friends. They don't even consider it remotely as a sport, and when I told them I wanted to be a professional paintball player when I grew up, they just laughed at me, and it makes me really angry. I just wish they understood that to us, paintball is the same thing as the NFL is to others. They just don't understand.
