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.
LOL, Golf is the only one I still watch as well, and now it is in the midst of a schism.
No one watches Olympics anymore.
(Typed in my best Biden voice) If you don't like college football you ain't from Bama. LOL
I know lots of women who can quote stats and give you current injury reports better than I can. LOL
Fag football...
Me too and those are Oklahoma girls. The kind of of girls that can knock out a horse with a left hook like Mongo
Three Cheers for the Redskins!
Fag Football, maybe ...
Every Sunday, I’m grateful to Colon Krapperdick ... his antics gave me my day back.
To HELL with the NFL!
i was in southeast asia, doing work fr “Linebacker II”, when the almighty NFL went on strike, which meant no USO sunday football with coffee and doughnuts!
ever since ....( brooklyn raspberry)
Those Oklahoma girls are gonna have a day of reckoning when the Sooners join the SEC. Winning a conference title will require facing real competition.
But people who actively object by not watching are too few in number to affect the bottom line. I don’t think the league has lost much money going ‘woke’.
I know people who say they’re conservative but can’t give it up. They would keep going to NFL games (watch on TV) no matter how many times the league and franchises spit on them.
But this is true pansy football the NFL is discussing.
The NFL already has flag football. It’s called the Pro Bowl.
There are only 2 legitimate contact sports around, RUGBY (15 Man, not 7’s) and Aussie Rules.
I quit Football decades ago but these two sports are the real deal, honest contact, no PC nonsense and nonstop action, not timed for commercials.
Right now great rugby matches are going on each weekend and videos are free at https://rugby24.net/
They also have AFL videos (Aussie Rules)
How did the NFL fare when they allowed Collin Caperwitless to run the Kneeling party against America crap! THey lost significant support from viewership...go ahead and try implementing flag football and you won’t have any fans LEFT!
I quit football (baseball and basketball) when they started kneeling. haven’t missed a thing.
He plays fantasy football.
It’s been several years now and I don’t miss pro sports even a little bit.
