Darrell Doucette, a prominent flag football player, recently conveyed through an interview with TMZ that his intent was to promote the sport rather than compare himself to NFL star Patrick Mahomes. With flag football set to debut in the 2028 Olympics, Doucette and others seek respect for a sport that has matured beyond its backyard origins. The recent USA Football Summer Series showcased international competition as athletes prepared for the upcoming Olympics, highlighting the sport's growth and increased support from organizations like the NFL.
Doucette emphasized that his comments were not intended to create rivalry but rather to elevate the profile of flag football as a respected sport.
USA Football's Callie Brownson noted that flag football has evolved significantly, moving beyond casual play to becoming a respected sport that will debut in the Olympics.
