Paintball: a mainstream sport?

Tournament paintball is something that I have a clear passion for. It's fast paced, and in some instances, can push one to the limit in terms of physical and mental performance. However, one of the things I've noticed is that it's not very spectator friendly (or at least it's rarely known about by a large segment of the population). Well, i was looking at the cover of a magazine while waiting in line at lunds, and it had an article regarding tournament paintballer's "metrosexuality". Meaning our 'fashion-sense' for when we're out on the field. Considering this was a magazine which gets to a wide variety of the population, there is a clear reminder that the sport is growing and finally reaching out to people. Just wanted to blog about that, considering I found it pretty interesting that people are actually reading about paintball in the media.
