Flag football in the Olympics? How ridiculous. What’s next, frisbee, stickball, kick-the-can, perhaps? Oh, but the US has the best flag football team in the world. Well of course they do because nobody else cares to play it. It’s time we returned to traditional Olympic sports of running, jumping, and throwing things. I know the international committee on Lawn Darts will probably protest. And hasn’t the US seeded the Olympics with enough of our homegrown sports? Basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, softball, and even baseball. It’s like we have to keep inventing games that we’re good at. Until the rest of the world catches on and we have to invent new ones. Like flag football. Enough already. Instead of everybody gets a medal, the Olympics is fast becoming everybody gets a sport.
