Should Flag Football be in the Olympics?

There has been some conversation about flag football being in the Olympics. It is official now in 2028 there will be flag football in the Olympics. I think this is great and it gets the name of football out there to everyone.

 

Football has always been an American sport for the most part. They have football in other countries but it is not as big as it is in America. I think that flag football in the Olympics is good to get the name of the sport out there. Since football is such an American sport I think that there will be no competition for America. I am going to like watching America play football against other countries though. It seems a lot of people are on board with this being in the Olympics but they think that it is going to be a smoke show with America winning it all. 

 

In the end, I think that this is a great idea for many reasons. The name of the sport is getting out there, it is going to add spice to the Olympics and get to see how American football compares to other countries.

 

Do you think there should be flag football in the Olympics?

 

Who do you think will win the flag football in the Olympics?

 

Do you think that a lot of NFL stars will do it?

  • I don't thuink flag football should go to the Olympics because then youger kids have to be apart of it and then it much just come to a mess. With all the little kids running around. I don't think nfl start will do it.

  • I do not think that flag football should be in the olympics, but if there were to be flag football in the olympics i think that the united states would win because we have alot of tackle football players that could be on our olympic flag football team.

  • I think the United States would win becuase they are more experienced in the sport and also have the talent needed to win. Nfl stars should do it becuase when can you have another chance to show the world, American football

  • Personally i dont really like flag football, but i think they could give it a chance, I think the U.S would win because there is NFL and people in the U.S. know how to play some football.

  • No, because I feel not many people would enjoy watching it. I would assume America because we plau football proffesionaly and would be good at falg football. I would assume they wouldn't unless money is involved.

    • I agree because even the NFL is pushing their players to go play in it.

  • I don't really care if there is flag football or American football in the Olympics, but I would say that a sport called American football would be unfair in a global competition. I think that NFL players would like it because it would mean more practice.

    • I agree it would be an unfair competition but I think that it would be very entertaining.

  • I think that it's good that American football is going to be in the Olympics. I think that it will help get some American culture out for the rest of the world to see. I don't think that NFL players will be playing in the Olympics because they don't want to risk injury. 

  • I don't think flag football should be in the olympics. I feel like it just isn;t worth it and many people who already play football will be playing. I don't think it is very competitve and doesn't use much skill. Flag football is more of just a game for fun.
