Another Lawsuit - Not SP This Time!
Everybody knows that paintball is one of the most intense sports out there, and players lay a lot on the line, like money, careers, and friends. But now I realize where this all comes from, it comes from all the paintball companies suing each other over pointless crap (like $400,000 in this case)! We see more bickering and drama coming from the largest companies in the paintball industry than we do from high school girls (and the ones I know…well that’s simply amazing).
Here’s the official article.

At this time the complaint itself isn’t available on PACER, but a hearing notice has been issued in the case. While the specifics aren’t available, the documents indicate that Long and BLAST are suing over a contract dispute. The lawsuit indicates a possible reason why BLAST products are now being distributed by Archon Paintball, rather than NPS as they had been for several years.
As the details become available they’ll be reported here. Representatives for both BLAST and NPS have been contacted for comment.
Seriously, just pay your dues and move on. Or perhaps it’s the other way around; stop your whining and move on. This is paintball!
And that’s all I have to say about that.
