Paintball is played in the olympics and all over the world.

um....two things.
paintball is not in the olympics. as much as we all wish it was...it's not. IT'S NOT EVEN IN THE FREAKIN X GAMES! the sad truth is that because we use paintball markers it's seen as a violent activity. there's been a huge jump in the paintball community but there are just some small things that are stopping us from becoming more recognized. we're still the number 2 fastest rising sport right now. so don't worry. we'll get a spot soon.
and a message to mopjky:
paintball IS a sport. it takes skill, teamwork, athleticism, and a keen mind to be a competitive paintball player. ESPN2 has aired paintball on various occasions already. if you could put an argument to as why it's just a hobby i'd really like to see it.

Ask Yahoo. They determine the categories.
