Figures..dumb morons. They should try to learn more about the sport. When you go to think about it though the Olympics are about countries coming together and playing the same sport. The problem is that other then the USA paintball isn't popular all over the world like it is here in the US. There are no where near as many paintballers in Europe and Asia as thier is in the US. ------------- (I'm a nob with no clue about almost anything...) |
