POLL: Should paintball be in the X-Games?

[Mag O Holic]

Paintball is amazing... but think about it, if you don't play a sport, something like golf, then you wouldn't watch it, especially if you don't know the rules or the object of the game. I wouldn't mind seeing it on t.v, but not x-games, i'd hate to be watching moto-x for 20 minutes when everyone finishes thier run, then see paintball pop-up for 1 - 2 hours while all the teams play each other (speaking from an untrained eyes point of view). Some games can last too long, some too short, with the x-games, all there sports preety much have a set amount of time for thier runs, unless they stuck a timer on the games, which i find preety crappy, then it won't make it on the x-games. But I'd love to see it on the tube, with its own time slot, seperate from the x-games. (hey let's ask fox, if they'll show joe millionare then they'll play anything right?)

My suggestion is if they do put paintball in the x-games it would be a T.V. only deal ie: Paintball sportscenter that shows the best and most exciting moves and shots taken from paintball tourneys. Personaly, I love watching paintball DVD's and movie clips but I know many people don't. What they would pay for is something like paintball's best, for instance the AND1 movies for basketball, with the flashy moves and street-ball type ethics. Basicly, if they put all the oooh-ahhh moments of paintball and played them on a big T.V. for people when they didnt have anything else to do and ran them durring boring spots on television, it would hit big. If they want more involvment AT the x-games they could have 3 or 4 pro teams duking it out constantly and not for scores and wins, but for the premotion of the sport(Can't forget fame on T.V. and sponsorship money). The teams would have to be well chosen, good sportsmanship, not too much cussing, and a willingness to be on camra.

If it was planed out right, I think it would be great for Paintball.

PS: I don't like skating period...

I think paintball shouldn't be in the X-Games. ALthough I love for it to be there, it would flood the world with noobs. We have enough as it is. Plus, that would probably mean more kids going to wal mart and buying markers. That means that more kids would be shooting themselves, and giving the sport a bad rep. Either way, we lose. Too bad, I actually like watching paintball, as long as the camera angles are good. I watch videos over and over again, and try to learn from their every move.
