The Case for Flag Football As an Olympic Sport

 The Olympics are different from any other sports competition in the world. For 16 days, over 300 sporting events and every country in the world have been competitive to pick up the prize medals, and every four years since I can remember, I look forward to the Summer Olympics. But something was always missing. One of the most popular sports in the United States and a top 10 in the world appears as if Olympic sports could be a battle and flag football before 2024, but obstacles remain in the way. First, we are going through why it was not an easy journey to make American football part of the Olympics, followed by why we believe that flag football is the logical solution and choice for the Olympics of the future.

The Case for Flag Football As an Olympic Sport


Why is AMERICAN ALREADY Football not an OLYMPIC SPORT?


According to an article by NFL.com, American football's most significant logistical problems in the Olympics are similar to those of Rugby, according to a report by NFL.com. With many participants in each team, the format of 'gender equality where men and women are involved in every sport, and the compressed three-week schedule, it is more physical games such as football and Rugby that are strict. In addition, the entry barrier is high in American football because all the players have to be equipped with pads and gear. It was, therefore, slow to adopt in many foreign countries, exceptionally the least diverse.


With all this, it isn't easy to see how the sport would be fit for the Summer Olympics either. Rugby is a lot like football because very little is required to play the lead in equipment and practice at the base level, and it is international follow is much larger. For these reasons, Rugby has been recently cleared for the Olympics from 2016 onwards by changing the traditional style to a less conventional format, "seven" faster with fewer people, which might contribute to carve a similar course for an American soccer or, more precisely, football flagship.


TACKLE CONCERNS SAFETY


More and more high school, college, and professional teams are beginning to reduce the number of contacts and continue to use soft-padded headgear and shoulder pads for added protection. However, what if we could limit the connections before high school and high school while also addressing some sports issues entirely accepted in the Olympics? There have been numerous talks about the security of tackle football recently, not just at the NFL, where concussions are a significant issue. Starting from the level of young soccer, recent evidence has shown that, even without commotional congestion, repeated head impacts and collisions can be seen in similar brain injuries later in life for children between the ages of 8 and 13. Many scientists suggest that children should not play football, meaning that children's heads "A large section of their bodies and necks are not as strong as the necks of adults. Children may therefore have a higher risk of head and brain injury than adults."


DREW BREES FOOTBALL FLAG can save football.


Studies have shown that flag football is the fastest growing youth sport in the United States, outstripping the growth of traditional tackle football significantly. Many high schools are changing football into the flag, making organized leagues and divisions suitable for other schools in their regions. It's a formal one even.
