We are just comparing them as sports, not neccesarily for when they are played. |

Maybe the Olympics or the x-games aren’t the answer. A world championship is the most probable outcome with the opportunity to represent your country (a sense of patriotism can be a powerful motivation for some people). In Wales we take part in the 6 nation’s paintball tournament. I know a guy ho plays for the Welsh team and he gets very patriotic about it. Especially when he talks about the match against the old enemy England.

Ya, everyone knows about the petition and has probably signed it atleast 3 times, but the truth is that an online petition will do nothing.

That's not my point. Fact is, that won't help at all, even if everybody signed it once.

Didn't baseball get voted out of the Olympics for 08? I heard someone talking about it and baseball creating a World championship. What Druid says may not be far off. |
