If paintball went to the olympics?

[JoseDominguez]

Any of them ever been paid to play? I wonder how that would work out for the olympics....... wouldn't some of the top US players be unable to play in the olympics as they've been paid. Whereas we'd be able to pick from our entire player pool.

The rule for the Olympics these days is that amateur status is up to the individual sport.

Otherwise, how do you think Tim Henman would make the Olympics?








..... and still do **** all
