Unfortunately this is the beginning of the end of American football. Once the world catches on to this style of flag it’s game over. Taking the physicality out of the game benefits the owners more than the players. That’s why the NFL will make the switch in the next 20 years.

Flag football is honestly the ideal form of gridiron football for international competition, at least for now. The US (and Canada to some extent, and to an even lesser extent Australia and maybe the countries where Rugby is popular, but my point stands I think) has kind of an innate advantage internationally until the sport grows. We have an entire country of teens growing up playing youth, high school and college football, plus the NFL. So tackle football is just going to be a slaughter. But flag football kind of evens the playing field so that any big athletic guy from any country can stand a chance.
