I welcome Flag Football as a woman's sport, and for mixed-sex beer-league teams for sociability and sportsmanship. Sports is good for everyone, and if they can take the skill and strategy of football, and subtract out its impact injuries, then that's an undeniable good for the sport's mass adoption.

As far as a professional or Olympic-level sport, eh. Top level football just isn't the same without tackling.

In the first Olympics Athens beat Sparta in flag football. When they started playing tackle Sparta was undefeated. /Sarc

“That’s going to be really exciting,” Tagovailoa said, adding he played flag football as a 5- or 6-year-old

Exactly. Best suited for grade schoolers.

We were too poor to buy flags, so we just lined up in the sandlot and took the hits.

The most important thing I want to know is will Mr. Swiftie be playing in it, and will Taylor be there to watch him?

We should sue to stop them from making flag football an Olympic event. This was an insult.

I remember a former NFL player by the name of Robert Edwards.
Young, with a great football career ahead of him.
He blew his knee out during a NFL Rookie beach flag football game in HI.
Almost had his leg amputated from complications.
Out 4 years, never the same.

The NFL is already trending towards flag-football. Just be patient.

I might actually watch flag football. NFL has become a annoying bore, haven’t watched it in 8 years.

I can't wait until corn hole, poker, pickle ball and the blind man obstacle course become olympic events.

a seven-on-seven flag exhibition that will offer fans and a national television audience a sense of what the sport could look like with such highly skilled talent on the field.

I watched some of it and it was a joke and certainly not worthy of an olympic event.

I wish they would bring back racquetball and women's softball........

and dump basketball.
