Team Characteristics
The New Jersey Jesters are a paintball team best known for their lack of sportsmanship and complete disregard for the rules of the sport.
1. Post-Game Shooting
Players might decide to start shooting opponents after the game is over, ignoring horns, referees, and safety protocols. This will cause insurance, liability, safety, and community issues.
2. Referee Defiance
Multiple referees are routinely ignored when they attempt to enforce rules or stop dangerous behavior. NJJ show a complete disregard for the field staff, ignoring verbal commands and field horns.
3. Bully Mentality
The team actively attempts to intimidate opponents rather than compete with respect. Members antagonize other teams by screaming, cursing, and using profanities across the field. Youth should never have to experience or see this type of behavior happening in any professional sport.
4. Lack of Control
Exhibits reckless, childish, and dangerous behavior that risks injuries and damages the reputation of paintball. This behavior will lead to insurance and liability issues as well as issues within the community.

Why It Matters
The Jesters’ behavior isn’t just embarrassing — it’s a liability. Ignoring referees and safety calls endangers players, puts insurance coverage for fields at risk, and sets a terrible example for younger players.
Opponents are not enemies. Paintball is about competition, teamwork, and respect. The actions of the New Jersey Jesters stand in direct opposition to everything that makes this sport great.
Until they show accountability, responsibility, and respect for the game, they should not be endorsed, hosted, or celebrated in the paintball community.
