For most of my life, I’ve been a fan of the National Football League. It wasn’t until recent years that I turned away from the game as the emergence of the social justice league has made games unbearable and support for the league untenable. But even if I still watched professional football today, I would be dropping my fandom soon after hearing what the future of the NFL holds.
As NBC Sports reports, Executive V.P. of football operations Troy Vincent envisions an “inclusive” league that is focused on FLAG FOOTBALL so it can go global and spread absolutely insane wokeness by desecrating one of the most masculine sports ever created.
According to the report [emphasis added]:
As the NFL continues its goal of growing overseas, the Olympics have become a key part of the strategy. Specifically, the league has been working on making inroads internationally with an eye toward flag football becoming an Olympic sport. NFL Executive V.P. of football operations Troy Vincent says the league believes the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles could be an opportunity for American football to shine on a world stage.
“That’s the ultimate goal to make flag football an Olympic sport,” Vincent told the Associated Press.
Vincent says flag football will be much easier to export to the world, for both men and women, than tackle football.
“When we talk about the future of the game of football, it is, no question, flag,” Vincent said. “When I’ve been asked over the last 24 months, in particular, what does the next 100 years look like when you look at football, not professional football, it’s flag. It’s the inclusion and the true motto of ‘football for all.’ There is a place in flag football for all.”
Let’s speak plainly. Claiming the Olympics is the “ultimate goal” is a lie. The NFL gains nothing if the Olympics takes on flag football. Where they could see gains is if the woke world embraces the inclusiveness of flag football and turns it into something people across the globe want to watch. The NFL is seeing dollar signs on top of kudos from the woke, a win-win for an organization that hates America and works on orders from the globalist elites.
NFL Ping!..................
I think they have one too many “L’s” there.
😂😒🤣😜✔👌..................................
Hilarious. I’m so glad I gave up on sports when the wokeness started to infect it a few years ago.
Ever since head injuries came into the forefront of the NFL discussion I’ve been talking about no pads NFFL for years.
Rugby’s already an Olympic sport, no?
Possibly flag football could be a “gateway” to NFL football for a fan base around the world but it might not pay off either.
I would say flag football is less woke than kneeling before the USA flag.
You know, we had a good balance going on. Americans didn’t want to watch soccer, and the rest of the world didn’t want to watch football. And everyone was happy.
Had to go and screw it up.
Next up: outlaw harsh language.
the NFL might actually be gayer now than the US military. And that’s no small achievement.
...and not enough “F”s - should be NFFL...
Reminds me of sarcastaball from South Park.
Yup. We used to play a free-for-all football game called “smear the queer.”
No pads and no helmets would actually fix a lot of injury problems in the NFL, but I really don’t care. I’ve given up all pro sports.
Just another reason to dislike football. I never watch the stuff. Or baseball. Or basketball. Just golf. Basically well-behaved guys in a high-skill sport where they don’t bash into each other. But then, I’m a girl.
ROFLMAO
the NFL is dead
I saw Rugby on TV once. I do not like football but could become a Rugby fan. They just keep going and going, no halftime rest.
Why not? On tv now is professional tag, pickle ball, and something called “cornhole”, which apparently doesn’t mean what it used to…or does it? Hard to know these days.
