Online petitions do absolutely nothing... You're better off making a REAL petition and sending it to the networks which you think would air paintball.

Who exactly did you talk to? And do you know what ESPN said for a fact, or did you get that information from someone else?

Frankly, paintball just isn't as entertaining to watch as most sports. Its fun to play but its not that good to watch. We're trying to get more lacrosse on TV, take things one step at a time.

it would be too hard to air continuasly on tv you'd have to have like 20 camera angles ,etc and the camera guys would have to buy all protective suits,etc just to expensive...

Because pro golfers pull in several million dollars a year. Pro paintballers... do they even get paid?
Oh and golf is interesting to watch not just pay.

No matter how many signatures you get on an ONLINE petition... it wont mean anything... it wont mean anything if you sign it.

Wait a sec...College Championships? Paint Ball? In the same sentence!? I'd ask what hole I've been living in to not have heard about this, but then again my official college transcripts show I have an A+ in Laser Tag (the name for the course was the Infrared Scare).

I've seen tubby overweight men running around huge inflatable cylinders wearing body armor on ESPN (one of 'em, might've been the ocho). If that wasn't paint ball, then I want my money back...
Paintball strikes me like alot of other stuff does...fun to watch, not necessarily a spectator sport. But I may be missing something.
