The league is shooting for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles as an opportunity to showcase flag football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the ultimate goal to make flag football an Olympic sport,\u201d Vincent said.<\/p>\n<p>The World Games, a major international sports event held after the summer Olympics every four years, are commencing this week in Alabama, and flag football is one of the sports for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou watch these young ladies and men play in other countries,\u201d Vincent said. \u201cIt\u2019s a transitional sport. It\u2019s a cross-functional sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judging from reaction on Twitter, it could be difficult to fill stadiums with people willing to watch men and women play non-contact football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather watch Ultimate Frisbee,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cfenton23\/status\/1545019373655564294?s=20&#038;t=DKCcf9XzhuXY_2ZMSW1GDg\">tweeted Hanlon\u2019s Razor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NFL\u2019s goal is to make the NFL flag football,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/buckshot221\/status\/1544984188327264258?s=20&#038;t=DKCcf9XzhuXY_2ZMSW1GDg\">tweeted Buckshot221<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a joke, right?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jerbear423871\/status\/1545040972756795393?s=20&#038;t=tzEgQbK48FXdXsQO7ngxqg\">tweeted JerBear<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, it is not a joke. While Vincent is not talking about replacing gridiron gladiators with cloth-snatching sissies just yet, the league is known to be worried about future lawsuits from long-term brain injuries. Flag football would reduce the number of concussions suffered on the field to nearly zero.<\/p>\n<p>But mostly, Vincent seems to believe the safer version of the game is a better bet to attract new fans around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the inclusion and the true motto of \u2018football for all,\u2019\u201d Vincent said. \u201cThere is a place in flag football for all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A top NFL executive says the future of the sport is men and women playing flag football.
