Possible Russian competition for RL (not likely).

Taken from a site that PBN doesn't like to let you post links to:

"It would seem that while Dale and Bryan are popular with most Americans and quite a few people in Europe (Dale is especially popular in Scandinavia for some reason; he refuses to say why) it would seem that the Russians like me the most._ I guess I appeal to their conspirational nature.


I got an email from a new Russian friend tonight that tells me that Roman Abramovich, the owner of Sibneft Oil Company and the owner of the Chelsea Soccer Club in the UK has turned his sights on to the sport of paintball._ Roman has teamed up with_Ekosport, a_Russian paintball company to form a new team based out of Russia._ He tells me that former Russian Legion players are involved, and are helping with tryouts and the like._ Like the Legion, Sibneft will make it so the team has a full ride to NPPL and Millenium events, and with the former RL players involved, the training regimen will be much like Russian Legion.

Why am i not surpirsed? That man LOVES sports and after he brought some of the best NHL stars to his hockey team in the middle of siberia this year he truely showed how commited he is to sports. Personally i thought he would do something with the British teams, but i guess Robbo missed the bus.

I do not know if there is in at you a holiday of humour and jokes, but we celebrate it on April, 1st. And as you know the good joke prepares in advance. Unfortunately paintball is not an Olympic kind of sports and what's why Russian big companies, especially oil companys do not gives the money to make a full professional paintball team from nothing.
An excellent joke have thought up
