After we crush everyone 3 or 4 times it’ll go the way of Olympic softball I’d guess

Who was the guy that tore his ACL playing beach flag football in the pro bowl one year? Robert Edwards I think. There’s no way NFL guys are going to risk their careers for this.

Might as well. It will be a preview of what the NFL is moving to.

This will probably be the only time it will ever exist, like Break Dancing in Paris.

Host Country gets to propose sports and the ICC votes on including them

Edit: Dammit Packer beat me to it.

I thought it was on the beach but wasn’t sure. Still risky even on grass, a lot of sudden cuts where you can blow out a knee.

They definitely will. It's the Olympics in LA and they're going to fall out of bed into an easy gold medal in the potentially one time chance for anyone to have a gold medal in flag football.

First ACL tear and this will get rescinded before you can blink

Trying to imagine a guy bragging about or remembering fondly his gold medal in flag football and not laughing immediately in his face

The league is all about pushing the game internationally. The frick they care about player safety.

Now imagine that's Patrick Mahomes adding a gold medal to all his Superbowl rings.

Of course, but they also will care very quickly if a top 5 QB gets hurt doing it and hurts their bottom line on ratings.

I can already hear the 16 year old
That’s gonna be posting on this site that “Brady has 0 gold medals. Debate over”
