paintball in the olympics

[simon woodstock]

i've heard scattered rumors of paintball being in the next summer olympics, then the owner of the local pb shop said it would be an olympic sport also. but i've also heard skateboarding would be too. i dunno if either of them are or not. does anybody know?

wasnt this question asked already like a month ago or something? ne ways, i dont think paintball will ever be an olympic sport only because of the whole GUN issue, no thanks to the school shootings.

oh i didn't know it was already a thread, i'll do a search

ohyeah but about the guns, there are lots of marksman ship sports, just i guess the shooting at people is the difference

Doesn't it piss you off the way people associate paintball with war?? It'd be awesome if it was an olypmic sport, I bet you'd all agree on that. Where did you find this info on paintball & the olympics?

[simon woodstock]

i've just heard rumors spreading around about it. but i brought up the original pb in the olympics thread.
mods, close this thread please.

i dont think it will be in the olympics because it deals with guns and damn school shootings
