    The segment :) Like it hasn't been broadcast/we haven't heard it before?

    If it's on a sports show, it sounds like it could be positive for a change

    "We didnt get to Catriona's World War 3 package"

    what was gonna be discussed?:D

    WW3 package. FFS...
    We don't refer to boxing as 'Death Punching', so it's pure sensationalism to refer to a piece about Airsoft as World War 3. I suppose it's just too easy for the media to look at the sport and it's equipment without using references to actual war and destruction. I know MMA(UFC & Pride) had a similar problem with negative media coverage but it's grown huge due to the exposure. It's mainly because, just like airsoft, it's cool as f*ck.

    Ok people lets not react too hurriedly.
    Yes we got bumped, ah well.
    As for the "remark" at the end of the show... just leave it to the IAA.

    We are a civilized bunch :)

    Thanks again fellas.

    To elaborate on Dr.Pappers point, I have emailed the people responsible and I will let you know what response they give.

    Until then, keep a cool head, we dont know what happened at their end and radio is a very minute-to-minute game.

    Thanks.

    most likely the ww3 comment was just something the dj came up with at the time, the piece was written by a reporter who came out to hrta to interview people and was quite interested in airsoft, it should not be a sensationalist piece that we're used to from the red tops

    thread locked for now
