You know...I would have to agree that yes!  It would be great to see a news report like this on our T.V. sets.   But I would not loose sleep over it.  Hell would freeze over long before our beloved "Main Stream Media"  ever did a report on Airsoft and showed the sports true colors.  Why?  Because of all the Fu*king Left Wing mini-van drivers out there!  If a positive news report covering Airsoft was ran on the ten-o-clock news....every Left Wing sissy would piss in there pants.  They would say..."We are engaging in a activity in such a manner that suggests violence glorifacation and could harm our childeren."  Well....I have two words for the dipsh*t who throught that up........FU#K YOU!

But this is just my humble opinion...take it anyway you choose...


I love it!!  :lol:

There have been several news stories in the Media that portray Airsoft as a Hobby in a positive manner.

The negative coverage discusses the weapons used, not the hobby in which we partake.

So relax, Sko.  It's just like the war in Iraq - there is alot of good coverage out there that doesn't get as much attention as the bad.

Oh for good grief, don't compare our game with the war in Iraq!  That's almost worse than shooting six year olds with BBs.

Bad analogy, yes.

My point was that there is good news as well, it's just not as easy to find as the bad news.  This goes for any topic.  

Let's not digress too much here, though.

You guys seem to have your stuff wired tight out there, have you considered trying to get a local paper to run an atricle on your teams or events.  Frankly, I like airsoft staying low key, it helps keeps the sport healthy by not haveing a bunch of wankers involved.
