After the owners of the NFL approved players to play Football of the flags at the Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games in 2028 earlier this month, players and fans dreamed of the potential team that the United States could have.
However, the quarter of the national American male football team, Darrell Doucette III, was firm in his conviction that football players should not be put aside simply because NFL players are now allowed to participate.
The former Eagles center in Philadelphia, Jason Kelce, proposed an idea that would help to determine which players, Flag Football or NFL, would represent the United States team at the Olympic Games.

“Let’s just go these guys (Flag Football) play an NFL team that is chosen and can be the best team team and represent the United States,” Kelce said in a recent episode of “New Heights”.
“I think that a coach who knows Flag football should select a team represented by the NFL. This team should simply play this Flag football team that has been playing for a long time and has the impression of being the best on this subject, and they don’t need other guys. Then, the one who wins (go to the Olympic Games).”

The Kansas City star, the tight star, Travis Kelce, wondered so sweet was “afraid” of the NFL competition.
“Is this guy afraid of competition?” Said Travis.
“Pass a test, and the best players do the team. He only boxes other people to join sport because they have not played the specific football style?”

The United States, led by Doucette, were seated at the top of the world flag football ranking last year. Whatever their ranking, Jason is “really confident” that the NFL players would be better.
“If these guys are the best, they should represent (team) USA,” said Jason. “I don’t know anything about Football Flag, but I’m really confident that they are not the best.”
