00:00they're going to allow flag football in lipstick city this is actually a pretty big deal flag
00:05football in this country is huge scott i i worked for the american flag football league for three
00:09years and i could tell you when the nfl players participated guys who had retired that was a
00:16game changer the the views on youtube were ridiculous look michael vick played in jason
00:22avon fourth eagles obviously michael vick terrell owens played in the first year uh but i could tell
00:27you scott the professional flag players or the guys who play it that weren't nfl players are better
00:34than the guys who play in the national football league why the nfl players scott they don't have
00:39the nuance to pull the flag they don't because they're used to tackling you there's there's no
00:43contact in this type of flag football and five on five they don't quite have it and the flag pulling
00:49is an art it's not easy and i could tell you scott it became so big because it because what happens
00:56they were smart the american flag football league they would they would play in the spring and
01:01there's not other than baseball there's not much on so they were on nfl network they were on cbs sports
01:06network and it became such a big deal and you saw deon sanders was on social media getting involved
01:12with it that there was a line put out one year for one atlantic city sports book believe it or not i
01:18couldn't believe it that that's when you knew that flag football has got to be a big deal now
01:22let's turn to 2028 what are you going to see only one player per team could be uh on the american team
01:29and then internationally like if if if they're international players on an nfl team they could
01:34also play uh for for their for their country and they're going to be five on five now seven on seven
01:40is the most popular which is what you see in ot time out what do you mean one one player oh you mean
01:47like one player from an nfl team can be on the american team so they could have a bunch of guys
01:52from the league but only one from each team correct right right exactly right so only one from from each
01:57team but so and you could have two players as long as the second player is international player
02:04like jordan mailata who is a rugby player if he wanted to he could play for the australian team but
02:10scott this is going to be five on five this is a big deal the nfl has been pushing flag football for years
02:15because of the because of less contact it the thing that is very interesting is there are so
02:21many nfl players that want to do this now they have to get through the logistics of contracts and
02:27injury protection and training and it's it you're looking at potentially the player missing a week or
02:35two of training camp and that's it but a lot of players want to do it man and flag football is a big
02:40deal and the nfl again is backing it in a big way
02:42you're looking at this one so maybe four guys more out of this
02:44they're gonna do it.
