who thinks paintball should be an olympic sport?

**chaoticprophecy** · March 1st, 07:30 PM

I do.

**DragonFire0729** · March 1st, 07:33 PM

of course, I do. But it won't happen, at least for a while, for a variety of reasons

1) Did you really think anyone would say no? This is a paintball forum, filled with paintballers...
2) There was a thread about this exact subject about a week ago.
3) Your signature is advertising both a store and an alternate forum, both of which break the rules.

It will never be an Olympic sport.

Xgames-Yes

Olympics-No...Look how much they had to do to get snowboarding in...its not going to happen. Its too much of an underground sport and it probably always will be.

**lets-c-u-dance** · March 1st, 07:57 PM

xgames more likely than olympics,
but ya i would love for it to be on the olypics, more pb on tv is always good

cough KNARK

yes pb should be and WILL BE someday an olympic sport

***theCOWgoesMOO*** · March 1st, 08:04 PM

anything to get more ppl into paintball but it aint going to happen...it took like so long for snowboarding to get accepted...alot of ppl think that sports like snowboarding and paintballing arent really sports...obviously they are but maybe some day we will be accepted

**Ellis** · March 1st, 08:08 PM

No. Keep it underground.

**mavsfan31** · March 1st, 08:13 PM

I think I'm going to have to say keep it underground. I'm fine with the way it is now, no stupid kids at school play.

**DragonFire0729** · March 1st, 08:17 PM

Yea, you think the noobs now are bad...it would be 100x worse if it was an olympic sport.

of course, there is a silver lining to that....noob mowing

AMEN!

**jeluso** · March 1st, 08:18 PM

why would making pb an olympic sport make it 100x worse??? just out of curiousity

**mavsfan31** · March 1st, 08:21 PM

I guess cause the number of noobs with a ton of money but no skill would grow tenfold?

**jeluso** · March 1st, 08:24 PM

all the publicity it would get, pb would grow, meaning supply would go up, and prices would come down....that would be cool in my book

***theCOWgoesMOO*** · March 1st, 08:24 PM

everyone starts as a noob...btw just finished re-painting my mask...i used crapy paint b4 so it looked like shat changed the paint and colours (como colours sorta now) and was extra carful...i think it looks good ill post a pic l8er

p.s. judge the paintjob not the kinda mask my mask kinda sux...wait wut do i mean kinda

**lets-c-u-dance** · March 1st, 08:28 PM

it would be harder to become pro to,
look at baseball, theres a whole farm system, A AA AAA then Majors
I like the way it is, not TO many noobs at the local field but every now and then theres a small group, but Its cool, everyone is friends there

I'm not supporting what they said, simply trying to see things through their eyes. Have to remember though, would quality go up?

And cow, post about your mask in your thread, not here.
