Paintball in the X Games

GottMilk · 08-23-2012, 06:21 PM

The sport of paintball is one of the most blood rushing and adrenaline fullfilling, sports in the world today. It is played all over the world fromrom Russia to the United States, but the sport is still underground. I don't know if this is due to the community not trying to get it out there to the public or if it just doesn't appeal to them. I think that it could very easily get on the X Games or on TV in general, yet I am still stuck at home watching laggy webcasts (Damn my slow internet!) What do you guys think it would take to get paintball on the big screen or even into the X Games, and has anyone ever attempted to do so?

I would love to see paintball on tv, unlike some of these other boring sports they put on tv. paintball is an awesome fun filled sport and should be watched by millions on tv...hope to see it one day...

NCPA has been televised on Fox College Sports. Worked pretty well.
