- I think that this discussion is an important one and definately
- should be on the net. In my opinion any name with "war" or "combat" in
- any context to the sport is not a good thing. These names should be
- reserverved for actual military or police training where the attempt to
- make killing the issue over the sport. Names for the sport include
- splatball, action pursuit, fun in the woods etc.. The real issue is not
- what you call it but what it means to you.
