I don't know about the olympics, even though it is fun to play.

Although... you already have the biatholon, which is guns and skiing. Give the skiers paintball guns, and let them know that the anybody infront of them is a viable target... now THAT looks like a fun sport!

I'm in Grade 12, and we've gone on Paintballing field trips all the time this year in my PE class. So I don't see what's so wrong about Paintball in gym class...

And for the olympics? Nah, it would be pretty lame to see a bunch of guys play in the bushes shooting each other.

Actually I read an article in an issue of Popular Mechanics a while ago and it said that last time they voted for new sports in the summer olympics Paintballing lost to Kayaking(I think) by one vote. And it said that by 2004 it will probably be a sport.

I guess when he said in Gym class I thought he meant like IN Gym class... And anyway they wouldn't be in the bushes it would be speedball:
