Football May Become An Olympic Sport Says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell

I dunno but that Samoan team will have some players who pack a punch.

And I wasn't trying to be funny.

 

Not positive, but I believe they would count as Americans

Nah, they'd be Samoan. If anything they'd be considered Kiwi's unless they're literally from "American Samoa" which is completely different. They're neighbors but we only claim one of them. :)

And honestly, I'd see MMA becoming an Olympic sport before fooseball did.

 

True dat. Martial arts comes in all forms, right? Wow that would be a hot moneymaker. Something straight out of a Street Fighter game.

But that's amazing with how they churn out that level of talent on a non-existent budget. They are big, strong and fast. All they have to do is learn the schemes. All that god given talent does the rest and they have it in ample amounts.

 

If there was someone out there who didn't think godell was a freaking idiot....I'd be willing to bet they have changed their mind now

 

There is some kind of under-19 world championship they play currently where different countries contribute teams to the field. Not that I've ever watched it but I have heard of it. I guess maybe you could take those kids and move them into the Olympic format. Obviously there is no way the international community is going to compete with American NFL or even college level teams.

Heh, now that I check it out the USA lost to Canada in the U-19 gold medal game. lol.

Hell, maybe this is where Goodell can launch his "fantasy" Flag League...

 

I don't think it will happen soon, if at all. There are too many injuries as it is now.Does anyone here remember when they used to do the College All-Star Game in Chicago between the NFL Champions and a group of College All-Stars? It was held from 1934 until the mid-1970s. There's an article about it in Wikipedia if you want to see the results.

 

Just what i'd want to do. Play in the olympics...Then 16 more games after that... Yeah, good thinking Goodell... MORON!

 

Imagine a team with a front 4 of sumo wrestlers! Big E. Honda looking mothaheckers n some ninjas as cover corners. Sick D!

Offense....idk. Robots?

...and i fade back to black.
