The NFL’s dedication to expanding flag football starts at the top
. Commissioner Roger Goodell has been fully invested in growing the non-contact version of the most popular sport in the United States. Flag football introduces more people, including folks around the world, to the NFL so it’s a wise commitment for a league that wants to become a global powerhouse. “We always thought it was important,” Goodell told The Associated Press about making flag football a priority.
Smith ended up becoming a two-time All-Pro who played 16 seasons with the Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens. “Flag has always been a part of football that I think is a little bit underrated,” Smith said. “I look at flag really to help introduce the fundamentals of football to kids because you don’t have to worry about getting hit so they get to really focus on playing tight end, quarterback, catching a football.
