Have to concur with Rancid here... and as with every occasion when I find myself agreeing with him I feel strangely guilty for it
Relative to what?
BBC TV - "Sport Idol" Contest
- Thread starter Julesbloke
- Start date
let's think about this, although I agree with Rancid about let's have just one "Great White Hope" for Paintball, we could all still apply though.
My thinking is thus, now this is Sport Idol, yep, so they must be having a "Hilarious" public filmed audition process. Peoples such as Rancid and all other ballers could turn-up to be auditioned (since we'll all wearing masks, they won't be able to guess our age). When they finally suss that some of us are too old, we could publically blubber on camera.
Also with Rancid then bayonetting the Sup-Air barricades and any small children every where we could have a new entertainment phoenominon (spelling-sorry). This would be in the smae vein as what Pop Idol did for the Cheeky Girls!
hmmm, too many drugs, I like the first idea best. One seriously good player, with all the skills should be put forward. It might stand out against the Bazillion footballers and gazzilion tennis players out there......

I think it's a case of anyone and everyone can apply - so the more 'ballers who enter, the greater the chance there is of getting one through.
The "press" have dubbed it "Sport Idol", but the BBC are taking it a bit more seriously I think.
Don't forget - it's not primarily about the sport. It's about finding individuals who can show commitment and willingness to go the extra mile to "be the best" at the sport they love.
But by the nature of the show, if a 'baller got through, they'd be showing paintball on TV. It's a sports based show, so it would give the general "uninitiated" public the idea of paintball as a sport, not just a useful plotline for a soap opera!
When you think that a lot of young guns give up a lot of time to train, travel and buy kit - it requires just as much commitment as other sports. That's what you'll have to prove to get through!
