Why not?
Dressage is an Olympic sport.
So is synchronising swimming.
So is gymnastic - rhythmic
If they can be in the olympics, why cant paintball?
The only reason it wont get in, is because not even every paintballer supports the idea?
Have some hope, the next few months, i am going to be putting a lot of time in for the idea. All i ask is show your support, and sign the petition.

Who here can say whether it will or wont happen, you'll never know unless you try. Did the black movement in America give up their push because they were going against the status quo, no they didnt. Neither did the French resistance during World War II. Ok so what we're pushing for here isnt anywhere near as life and death but to merely shoot down the possibility because you "can't see it happening" is the very definition of defeatism. Its all well whinging because paintball isnt recognised as a sport but with a big enough voice we can get it put on the roster.

Paintball (supair) is only a sport to those who play it, to everyone else its just a hobby or something to do on a stag do.

All the events that currently take place at the Olympics are seen as sports by those who play, and by those who spectate (got to admit though the horses and synchronised swimming is gay!)
