Would Paintball be a good olympic sport?

Yes it will be a good olympic sport in the future. But it will take time to get there if you notice snowboarding in now a olympic sport. It will take time though and the more paintball is brought out of the woods the better chance it will have. \nI think you will see a format like X-ball in the olympics before anything else.

Recently, the IOC voted to remove baseball and softball from the Olympics Games.  They will appear in Bejing, but not in London.  The sports will be able to reapply for the 2016 games.  \n\nThe committee may choose from a wide variety of sports to potentially replace baseball: squash, karate, gold, rugby, and even ballroom dancing have been considered.\n\nNetball is RECOGNIZED by the International Olympic Committee as conforming to the Olympic Charter.  Therefore it is one of the most likely sports to be considered for possible Olympic implementation.

Of course. The world cup is the greatest sports stage in the world. The world cup is the world's best fighting for a gold trophy.\nPeople might say that olympic soccer is close but it is not seeing that no professionals can play. The world cup is the best.

Oh man if there was paintball on here I would be all over it. I just wish I could find a bunch of guys to go shoot and not have a whole bunch of refs. I loved playing in austin with the guys from work. We would all get together have vendors pay for paint beer and BBQ and then go anniahlate one another by playing capture the flag. Any one have a ranch and wants play some paintball Im in Highlands Texas just outside of East Houston. send me an email  jtolly_98@yahoo.com

The Olympics have always been a world comp. the greatest athletes from all over the roman empire and parts of Europe would come to compete. wars between countries would be put on hold for the events. truly just about every country has been represented in the games.

I do play paintball.  i have been playing for a few years now.  the closts field to me is Hit and Run Paintball in Mansfield, TX  although i live in arlington.  i have a tippmann 98 custom.  i chose it because it was the best gun on the market and personally i still think it is.  because you can literally put it through hell and it still works like new.  also it has a great range of 150 feet of accuracy  without losing much velocity.  the third and final reason i cohes it is because you can customize it enough to compete with those 1000 dollar cockers and still beat them without spending 500 dollars (after you get all the upgrades you want on it you still wont be paying 1000 including the kit price).  i reccommend it to anyone who is new becasue of those three reasons

It depends on where you want to play. If you mean state parks or whatever, I would really doubt it because of injury. You're best bet would be to play on your own property or a frineds property. Besides that, aren't there any fields that you can go play at? Go to this website it's about paintball park reviews. Just take a look...\nhttp://www.pbreview.com/fields/23/

Because most of the sports are similar(except curling)in winter olympic, and it has less sports than summer olympic.\nAlso snowbording(the half-pipe)is cool

I have a better idea. Why not include olympics into 20-20?

Of course. I am getting excited about this year's tournamenet.\n\nI like seeing these international competitions. For a short period of time, countries get together and play ball. They forget about wars, politics, religions and problems at home. For a brief period, everyone can unite for one common cause. Winning a game. Watching a great sport.

Yes, there is a lot of potential for ballroom dancing to become an Olympic sport. However, unless their are strict changes, at this very moment ballroom dancing cannot instantly be an Olympic sport.\n\nDance requires technique, athletecism, speed, memory, and teamwork. It is set in a competetive atmosphere and if it becomes accepted as an Olympic sport, it will be both captivating and entertaining as well. It may even excede ice skating and gymnastics in popularity. Unlike ice skating, dance will be something that it is applicable and relatable to others. Although dance is an activity any couple can do, the dancesport athletes put hours of specific techniques into their practice. Though it is applicable, the level of dancing is not something that just anyone can do.\n\nFor those who argue that it is too subjective due to the judging, where do you draw the line? Even referees hold some level of subjectivity.\n\nBut the problem still lays in subjectivity in that judges are still coaching the partnerships that they eventually judge in future competitions. Judges must remain judges ONLY in order to begin the transition into becoming considered an Olympic sport. With the politics involved these days, a good teacher/judge makes $100+ every 45 minutes. Judging salary must appeal to teachers who have high credibility, most often these teachers also have extremely high salaries.\n\nHopefully ballroom dance will become an Olympic Sport. The ISTD and USA Dance are working to change it.

OK,that made me laugh out loud, but I hope you are prepared for the backlash of angry yahooligans who are animal lovers. But still, that is making me crack up. In answer to your question, Yes it will be an Olympic sport, right after they add dolphin netting and whaling.
