Great, more morons to ruin the sport. (world cup story)

[Skoad]

So, rummaging through all the facts and rumors this is basically what happened.

Team Psycho Circus (PC)

PC basically accused the ref's of a poor job during their losses down at the World Cup. So what do they do? They devise a plan to instead of playing the last game, they would unload on the refs off the break.

Seems game started and 2 of the PC players just completely laned a couple of the ref's while the other PC players just sat in the deadbox. One of the PC shooters even reloaded with another pod and continued to shoot the refs. Refs and others started to chase the PC players when they ran out of the playing area (into the crowd, on the other side of the nets). PC players then kept shooting at the refs while they were running away on the outside, spectator area.

Eventually they were caught, the 2 players banned for life from PSP and Disney property, and the rest of the team banned for 1 year. Police fined them for trespassing and booted them off the property.

Also it seems this team has a history of pulling retarded stunts like; doing the old run through, whaling on the opposing team even though PC was already dead.

One of the PC players even posted on pbnation defending their actions. Also they had someone video tape the thing so they could get their 5 seconds of pbnation fame, but the video hasn't popped up yet. To make matters worse it seems a bunch of crowd and pbnation kiddies are supporting them for doing this or just brushing it off like no big deal.

ban

ban the idiots from ao, pbn, pbf, and any other pb forum, they deserve to be lined up and shot, jackass style, or more yet, put posters of the idiots at fields nationwide, so every 1 kno how retarted they are

[TheAngryDrunkenRussian]

I'm sry but these guys give the sport a bad name. They shouldn't be banned from the sport but their idea of revenge should be. if they wanted to say their was bad reffing then they should have just boycotted the tourney and warned others before their actions.

"every action you make has its out come good or bad"

adios

[neppo1345]

Thats completely unjustifiable....there is no reason to unload on the refs like that...

yeah, they're gonna make bad calls, they're human...but just imagine if every team in professional sports did that...they've been around longer...they're not gonna get rid of the nfl or nba...but they could get rid of the PSP...cause im sure disney doesn;t want to be associated with that image...

it happens every now and then...but not on such an a**anine scale as this...

simply pathetic, these guys are a disgrace to our sport...

[RoadDawg]

I like how people always blame the refs for their failures.

People complain that the refs don't always catch the wiping... but yet how many of those players that complain wipe hits themselves?

Players like this make me glad to not play the tourny market. Simply unbelievable.

[siloseven]

this is why I can't play tourni ball... I woul dhave killed them, not sat around and did nothing not shot my paint back, no joke I would kill then - i might come up on muder 1 or something of the like. but I would be happy taking someone or someones off this planet for that kind of stunt.

secondly, this confermes why I don't go to PBN or anything but AO. AO is the best comunity I have been in and Love the poeple here. Rock ON!!!

too bad AO is getting worse by the hour... hmmm the good ol days.

[TheGrindPunk]

Unfortunately the paintball community shot itself in the foot, by changing its appearance and trying to become accepted by the mainstream. The more interest from the mainstream = more marketability, and it's now all business. It's about the money now, not the sport, and that is why you have the same gun coming out every year with a new date stamped on it.
It's sad to say, but expect more of this kind of thing to happen.........

[ZimMonkey]

Once again...

Once again, I feel dumber for having read something on PBN.

However, I think that it is nescessary for people to get the word out about these guys... Whats to stop them from doing that again? At some local field maybe? Or maybe overshooting a rental-toting frist-timer? Or even overshooting me? (That would be VERY detramental to their health, but still...) It would be nice if we could somehow stop these guys from playing anything but backyard ball... in their own backyard.

[Evil1]

Why would people do something like this? These people who were involved in this stunt are borderline retarded or something. Why would they make a fool of themselves on a national level like this?

[siloseven]

I have not read it nor seen it, but if I was the officer called, I am thinking - assault with a deadly weapon, assault and battery, endangerment, endangerment to a minor (assuming there are kids there), wreckless endangerment, aggravated assault, possably attempted murder (no one in the stands had protection) and that is just off the top of my head. not to mention all the civil caose that can stem. I am sure I can think of more

[siloseven]

too bad AO is getting worse by the hour... hmmm the good ol days.

but still, compared to the rest (exept warpig) AO is way better. i gave up on PBN long time ago, it is almost nothing but riff raff and little to nothing was done about it.

[automikey]

agreed


My adult response:

It looks like a premeditated attack that was intended to cause harm. Not part of the paintball game at all, and therefore even though it occured on a paintball field it should be considered assault (technically battery I think) and prosecuted as if it occured anywhere else.


My childish response:

The paintball community could just police itself by discussing this matter with the offensive team members in a designated forum. Say, in the parking lot after the game...

[phantomhitman]

This is absolutely rediculous. I mean they only got one hopper and a pod at the ref? I thought the tourney players had the cheater boards to roast the r3fxurz!!1
Just another group of idiots that all tourney players will get the blame for.
