This is so stupid I can’t even 17-ing think about it or even care about this.
Flag 17-ing football may now be an Olympic sport ???

There's no blocking in flag football, no way a TE makes it.

It’s a one-off. The host country gets to nominate a couple of sports in addition to the permanent events.
LA will feature flag football, squash, baseball, softball, lacrosse and cricket.

Like when France had “breaking”.

Be cool if one could trace his roots back to hime home country and play for them, that may add a little competition, or do a USA vs the world match up.

Three small fast guys for QB, C & RB. Two big fast WR. Tackle breaking doesn’t matter. So I’d rather have a Darren Sproles type instead of a Saquon type.

You can block. You just can't put your hands on them. You are basically setting a pick.
Not sure how they enforce the rules now (or whether we even played by what would be considered "real" flag football rules), but when we played, it was kind of like trying to take a charge. So in pass protection, you could move your feet as long as you kept your hands at your side and kept giving ground. Penalties were called basically like on defense in basketball except for absolutely zero tolerance for anything that looked like hand checking.

So if that's the way they are doing it, you probably want a shifty wide receiver/CB type for center. If you literally are just setting a pick, maybe that makes a TE useful as the extra size makes it hard to get around.

QB - Kyler Murray/Jalen Hurts - elite pocket escape-ability and good enough passer
Center - DK Metcalf - can't put your hands on the defense just set a pick. He's big enough and has hands to come down with a jump pass
WR1 - Tyreek Hill - Speed is king in flag football
WR2 - Justin Jefferson
FLEX - De'von Achane/Travis Hunter

Only 5 players on the field?!

That's a lot of open field for Kyler, Tyreek, Achane and any other NFL player with supreme speed and quickness.

Impossible to defend against that.

Upsets could happen. The best team doesn't always win.

Sports mimics life. Sometimes . . . shlt happens.

Agree. In flag football, speed is king.

At least until you get the ball near the goal line. Then, it would be nice to have some size/height.

Pretty impossible to come up with a roster right now since it’s still 3 years away.

If Jayden Daniels continues his upward trajectory he could be the ideal QB.
