Nice Paintball feature from the CBC

Marauder_Pilot · 01-29-2008, 05:35 PM

Recently, a new indoor field opened up here in Windsor (Completely unknown to me, how did that happen?), and CBC ran an article about it and paintball in general.
The story.

They really upplayed the safety aspect quite a bit, having one of the refs show off the masks and saying it's a very safe sport as long as you're wearing the gear. And, best of all IMO, they made a bit saying 'Remember, paintball is not for the street.'

Good to see us getting some positive press, at any rate. BTW, anybody around Windsor or Detroit should look this place up-I haven't been yet, but it looks really nice so far!

That was a great story and it looks like a very nice field. I love the chandeliers!

Really great that they promoted the safety of the sport.

Great spot, very well done.

Good story. Only one small thing... it made it seem like this place was the first ever to start up leagues and have indoor play. Meh. Good to know it's there.

Well, it was obvious that the reporter didn't know anything about what he'd gathered from his time there and 2 minutes on Wikipedia, so I'm willing to forgive that.

And he looked pretty silly standing there with that G36'd A-5...

Whoa they also got a big name in movies to comment on the Place. Who would have known Will Smith played paintball?

IMO that was a very well done story, made easy to be understood by the general public. I wish all paintball news reports were as positive as this.

Good old CBC reporting... our tax dollar's at work.

Seriously a well done article. Did I see someone at the begining rocking a pistol? Nice.
