The only reason I even remembered was because my mom has been watching it for the past few days and told me, but I'm not even interested in watching anything, not even the hockey or bobsled stuff. Dunno if it's just me or what, but it felt like the Summer Olympics overall are just more popular in general.

The TL;DR is that because cities that have to build stadiums for the Olympics tend to lose a bunch of money due to not having purposes for said stadiums after the Olympics, the IOC has conceded that various sports can rotate between countries, and flag football was added for 2028 because it's being hosted in the US.
Baseball is being added for 2028, as well as 2032, to add to it.
Adding flag football might be the gayest thing they could have done.
It's flag football because the brain damage inherent to tackle football was a no go (and so that it won't be such a landslide for the US)
Are they getting rid of boxing too then? I won't hold my breath, this is just more faggotry like when they added break dancing.
Olympic boxing has padded headgear and is already judged in a way that throwing little wuss punches and showing off boxing "technique" are the goals, not scrambling the other guy's brain.
I think there's that but also isn't there going to be girl teams
Flag football is also the push by Goodell, the guy has a hard on for Hispanic women so he spent millions pushing flag football to attract Hispanic fans, a whopping 10% of their viewership.
The 'official' numbers is that Hispanics make up 20 percent of the population, and because the people who make up NFL ownership (the commissioners of the American sports leagues are hired by the owners to take the flak for their decisions), and the NFL generally wants ALL the viewership.
Pussies
If that's the argument, they should've gone with olympic rugby instead.
