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.

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.
Hilarious.
You realize that does less than nothing to prevent brain injuries right? Headgear is just to keep your face from getting cut up and does absolutely nothing to stop your brain from smacking against your skull when you get hit.
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.
It’s not just that, Goodell and the NFL have been hell bent on globalization, they came up with flag football to bridge the gap between soccer and football for Europe and central/south America, then Goodell got a hard on for Mexican women and spent literally millions developing the Hispanic women’s flag football teams which has gotten the NFL literally no new viewers…
Plus Hispanics don’t watch football in general, people tend to watch sports they play, Hispanics and Asians have low viewership because they don’t have the physicality for football.
Pussies
If that's the argument, they should've gone with olympic rugby instead.
