เว็บดูบอล - The Olympics are like no other sport on the planet. Over 16 days, more than 300 matches from 35 sports and every country in the world took their medals home and I hope to see the Summer Olympics every 4 years for as long as I can remember. But something is always missing. It seems that wrestling and flag football will become Olympic sports by 2024, but it will be one of the most popular sports in the US and the top ten sports in the world. However, there are still obstacles to make it happen. We will first examine some of the reasons why the road to incorporating American football into the Olympics was not easy, followed by the assumption that flag football is the logical solution and choice for future Olympic sports.
WHY AMERICAN FOOTBALL NOT AGAIN A SPORT?
According to an article on NFL.com, the biggest logistical problem facing American football at the Olympics is very similar to rugby. With a large number of participants on each team, an equality format for men and women in which men and women participate in every sport, and a busy 3 week schedule that would be difficult to do with more physical games like football and rugby. In addition, the barriers to entry for American football are high because of the cost of equipping all players with bearings and equipment. It has also been slow to be adopted in many other countries, especially the poorer varieties.
Knowing all this, it's hard to understand how any one sport fits into the Summer Olympics. Rugby is very similar to football in that very little is required to play the sport in terms of equipment and training at a basic level, and has a much larger international fan base. This, among other things, recently allowed rugby to be released to Olympic Play starting 2016 by changing the traditional style to the less traditional, faster "seven" format with fewer people. This could help pave a similar path for American football, or flag football in particular.
SAFETY RATIO CONSIDERATIONS
More and more high school, college, and professional teams are starting to reduce the number of contact practices, and still enjoy soft headgear and padding for added protection. But what if we could narrow the contact preschool and high school players see while allaying some of the sporting concerns associated with his full acceptance into the Olympics? There's been a lot of talk about football safety lately, and not just in the NFL, where surprises are a major concern. Starting at the youth football level, there is recent evidence to support the idea that even concussions, repeated head hits, and bumps in children between the ages of 8 and 13 can cause similar brain injuries later in life. Many researchers suggest that children should not play football at all, suggesting that children's heads "make up a large part of their bodies and their necks are not as strong as adults'." As a result, children are at greater risk of head and brain injuries than adults. ""
DREW BREES BELIEVE FLAG FLAG SAVE FOOTBALL
Research since 2015 has shown that flag football is the fastest growing youth sport in the United States, significantly outperforming traditional wrestling football. Many high schools draw the football flag to deal with other schools in their area and create organized leagues and departments. In fact, in many states it is an officially recognized college sport, and especially for women, raising the flag is a way to facilitate participation in combat of a physical nature. And he's not the only one. Drew Bryce was recently interviewed by Peter King about the pre-NBC game show and has some strong words about why he thinks the flag is the answer. "I believe the football flag can save football," said Breeze. Breeze coached the soccer team on his son's flag and played soccer himself in junior high school. He never played football until middle school. "I think (flag football) is a great method of introduction for a lot of kids in football," Breeze said. "If not, I find it very easy to jump early and have a bad experience and then stop playing it. I feel like once you put the pad in, there are so many other elements in the game, and you, and in many cases too." And to be honest, I don't think enough coaches are familiar enough with the real basics of the game, especially when the bearings keep going at a young level. Many athletes and other professional coaches have expressed similar feelings and praised the sport. The flag of football and the sport's growing popularity reflect this.
