What, were the site says " the way paintbal was meant to be", HA, maybe you
were meant to be on your knees performing felatio to every jersey wearing
tourneyt player, cuz heck , I said so on a website.....

Really Mike, The NPPL has an interest in paintball being a sup air/
spoeedball format, it's called $$$$, not fun, not recreation, $$$$.
Employment, concesions, ticket prices, entry fees, yoiu don't get them from
plaing woods ball, so of cousre the NPPL is going to say "; the way it was
meant to be". But who gave them the crystal balls to see the way the past
was supposedly meant to pan out.
