Many people would disagree with you, Jimmy. Curling athletes will be so upset you didn’t consider them as Olympic athletes, but just “Winter” Olympic athletes. “Real” olympic sports? What? What makes you an expert?

You may be right about the fact that not enough women compete in paintball, but there are many people that compete from many countries. Paintball is played in over 40 countries by millions of mostly men and some women of all ages and lifestyles.

You’re so quick to be negative. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Fool.

Oh for goodness sake. What an idiotic thing for Bea to say. “Sure, why not. If they can have curling in the sport, they can have paintball.”.

Curling is part of the WINTER olympics. Not “The” Olympics. It’s winter olympics because like the rest of those snow and ice bound sports, they are minority sports, and vastly fail to meet the broad criteria for them to become real olympic sports.

Paintball will never be in the Olympics. Too few women, and too few people from too few countries do it.

Fool.
