Controversy


            Many people around the world don't even think paintball is a real sport.
             What is considered a real sport? When professionals are paid to play? When the sport has Official Tournament Rules? When it is played worldwide? What they don't know is that paintball has all of these, among many other interesting facts. People now a days simply just don't know enough about paintball. They see guns shooting people and automatically think that it's a dangerous and violent sport. To begin with my argument I"m going to lay down some basic facts:.
             The history of paintball dates back to the early 1970's, when James Hale of Daisy Manufacturing, invented and patented what would become the worlds first paintball gun. The "marker" was originally manufactured and used for marking trees, or cattle, and was later sold for paintball use under the Nelson name. On June 27, 1981 the first game of paintball was played with twelve players competing against each other using the original Nel-Spot 007 pistols.
             Now, paintball is played by millions all over the world. There are even professional female paintball teams, which proves paintball can be played by anyone.
             Official paintball tournaments are played in big games, for example the NPPL (National Professional Paintball League), Skyball (in Toronto, Canada Sky Dome), and The Zap Amateur Open. In all of these tournaments, winning teams receive thousands of dollars, and usually sponsorship, and run under the official rules of the NPPL. .
             There are also many manufacturers in paintball, like the more popular ones: JT Paintball, Zap, Worr Games Products, Tippmann Pneumatics Inc., and WDP Paintball Products. These big names are also sponsors of many professional teams, like Dynasty, Team Avalanche, Bob Longs Ironmen, and Team Strange.
             All of these facts are known by most paintball players around the world, but not to most other people.
             As far as violence and injuries in paintball, it has reported only 0.
